The publishing house Palgrave Macmillan has published the book Emotions and TV Series (Palgrave Macmillan), which brings together in expanded form the papers from the international congress 'Identity and Emotions in Contemporary TV Series'. The event was organized in 2013 by the project 'Emotional culture and identity' of the Institute for Culture and Society with the support of Zurich Insurance.
The volume is edited by Alberto N. García, professor at School of Communication and partner of the ICS. As he explains in his blog 'Diamantes en serie', the work "addresses the intersection between emotional culture and the serial story from sociology, narrative, feminism or cognitivism. It addresses genres defined by the feelings they arouse, such as horror or melodrama, delves into successful series such as Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Homeland or Nordic Noir and discussion on antiheroism, the landscape as an affective element or empathy of group".
The authors include academics from reference letter at programs of study on television and related phenomena, such as Stacey Abbott, University of Roehampton (UK); Robin Nelson, University of London (UK); Kyle Bishop, Southern Utah University (USA); and Elke Weissmann, Edge Hill University (UK).
