While we know that characters are the focus of story and viewer interest in television fiction, scholars have for decades overlooked the way those characters are performed on-screen and the lure of performance as a key formal and thematic aspect of long-form television storytelling. In \u003ci\u003eOver and Over\u003c\/i\u003e, Elliott Logan offers close readings of performance in some of the most celebrated television dramas of the century, casting new light on the attractions and significance of the medium's seriality. The book shows how the patterning and expressive resonance of performers on-screen binds together otherwise unconnected episodes of shows like \u003ci\u003eThe Sopranos\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMad Men\u003c\/i\u003e. In doing so, it highlights the provisionality of identity and meaning as crucial to their interest in the sustenance of human relationships over long periods of time. In accounting for the resonance of performance over time in serial drama, this book shows, we find the terms of our own attachment to its compelling depictions of human life\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elliott Logan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978816987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978816985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Elliott Logan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623514714367,"sku":"9781978816985","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/over-and-over-elliott-logan-9781978816985","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
