The Golden Girls, Designing Women, Living Single, Sex and the City,
Girlfriends, Cashmere Mafia and Hot in Cleveland stand out as some
of America's favorite television series. Their lovable ""female
foursome"" characters engage in witty banter as they challenge
American stereotypes about sex, love, family, work and community.
Theses sitcoms and comedy-dramas live on as cable TV re-runs and
through online fan communities, demonstrating mass appeal across
generations of women and men. Connecting fan commentary with
analysis by television scholars, this collection of new essays
explores the development of these series from the 1980s on, with a
focus on the role of fan cultures in ""reproducing"" these popular
American shows.
Co-opting Culture: Culture and Power in Sociology and Cultural
Studies represents a collection of new scholarship on culture from
the social sciences and from work done under the rubric of
'cultural studies'. Working from the idea that Sociology and
Cultural Studies have developed distinct and valuable toolkits for
understanding culture, the editors have brought together a
collection of essays that address the ways in which the cultures
around race, sex, and gender are mediated through or intersect with
politics, society, and economy. Some essays deal directly with the
theoretical nature of this mediation, while others adopt these
theoretical approaches to investigate specific cultural objects or
communities. In doing so, these essays call attention to the
particularities of form that constitute a kind of cultural logic
around the objects under consideration.
