The Queer Fantasies of the American Family Sitcom

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the evasive depictions of sexuality in domestic and family-friendly sitcoms. Tison Pugh charts the history of increasing sexual depiction in this genre while also unpacking how sitcoms use sexuality as a source of power, as a kind of camouflage, and as a foundation for family building.
