Seriality in the Streaming Era

Beschreibung

Seriality in the Streaming Era explores the dynamic transformation of serialized storytelling in the digital era, where platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and Apple Podcasts have redefined how narratives are created, consumed, and experienced. This book examines the profound impact of streaming technologies on both fictional and nonfictional series, offering an in-depth analysis of how these formats have evolved. Drawing from case studies across a wide range of media-from television to podcasts, and social media platforms like Facebook and Snapchat-this book highlights how serialized storytelling has adapted to diverse formats and consumption habits. The authors explore key trends such as platform-specific narrative structures, audience engagement, and the blending of genres in both entertainment and journalism. With a focus on both the aesthetic and functional shifts in seriality, the book offers theoretical insights into the future of storytelling in a media landscape increasingly shaped by data-driven strategies and audience participation. Furthermore, the book tackles how seriality navigates the delicate balance between creativity and commercial demands. As a significant contribution, the book features interviews with key industry professionals in the field of serial media production. Seriality in the Streaming Era is an essential resource for scholars, students, and industry professionals, as well as anyone curious about the evolving role of serialized narratives in shaping modern media culture.
