US postmodern TV ‘classics’: 24 / Miami Vice / The Sopranos
For each of the three episodes from the three programmes you will watch, you need to be able to answer the questions below
1)What version of postmodernism are you applying to label this programme as a postmodern text? What textual evidence can you offer to support your approach?
2)In what ways can this programme be seen as a postmodern one and in what ways does it seem like ‘ordinary’ TV?
3)In what ways are traditional text-reader relations being challenged in this programme? What textual evidence can you gather to support your argument?
4)In term of the production, distribution (both legal and illegal) and consumption can it be said that institutions and audiences are operating differently in a postmodern world?
