{"product_id":"her-stories-elana-levine-9781478007661","title":"Her Stories: Daytime Soap Opera and Us Television History","description":"Since the debut of \u003ci\u003eThese Are My Children\u003c\/i\u003e in 1949, the daytime television soap opera has been foundational to the history of the medium as an economic, creative, technological, social, and cultural institution. In \u003ci\u003eHer Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, Elana Levine draws on archival research and her experience as a longtime soap fan to provide an in-depth history of the daytime television soap opera as a uniquely gendered cultural form and a central force in the economic and social influence of network television. Closely observing the production, promotion, reception, and narrative strategies of the soaps, Levine examines two intersecting developments: the role soap operas have played in shaping cultural understandings of gender and the rise and fall of broadcast network television as a culture industry. In so doing, she foregrounds how soap operas have revealed changing conceptions of gender and femininity as imagined by and reflected on the television screen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elana Levine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478007664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478007661\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 02\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.00d","brand":"Elana Levine","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447892324607,"sku":"9781478007661","price":159.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e28aec00-486c-4404-8635-0e36ab8175c5.jpg?v=1777235515","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/her-stories-elana-levine-9781478007661","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
