{"product_id":"breaking-bad-and-cinematic-television-angelo-restivo-9781478003083","title":"Breaking Bad and Cinematic Television","description":"With its twisty serialized plots, compelling antiheroes, and stylish production, \u003ci\u003eBreaking Bad\u003c\/i\u003e has become a signature series for a new golden age of television, in which some premium cable shows have acquired the cultural prestige usually reserved for the cinema. In Breaking Bad \u003ci\u003eand Cinematic Television\u003c\/i\u003e Angelo Restivo uses the series as a point of departure for theorizing a new aesthetics of television: one based on an understanding of the cinematic that is tethered to affect rather than to medium or prestige. Restivo outlines how \u003ci\u003eBreaking Bad\u003c\/i\u003e and other contemporary \"cinematic\" television series take advantage of the new possibilities of postnetwork TV to create an aesthetic that inspires new ways to think about how television engages with the everyday. By exploring how the show presents domestic spaces and modes of experience under neoliberal capitalism in ways that allegorize the perceived twenty-first-century failures of masculinity, family, and the American Dream, Restivo shows how the televisual cinematic has the potential to change the ways viewers relate to and interact with the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angelo Restivo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478003081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478003083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.80w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2019","brand":"Angelo Restivo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073005875455,"sku":"9781478003083","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4bb580b2-9c6e-40a9-be43-a87ae3030b90.jpg?v=1685445243","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/breaking-bad-and-cinematic-television-angelo-restivo-9781478003083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
