Serialized storytelling provides intriguing opportunities for critical
representations of age and aging. In contrast to the finite character of
films, television narratives can unfold across hundreds of episodes and
multiple seasons. Contemporary viewing practices and new media
technologies have resulted in complex television narratives, in which
experimental temporalities and revisions of narrative linearity and
chronological time have become key features. This volume investigates
how the TV series as a powerful cultural medium can shape
representations of age and aging, such as in Orange Is The New Black,
The Wire, or Desperate Housewives, to understand what it means to
live in time.
