Complex Television
This site hosts the peer-to-peer review of the in-progress manuscript Complex Television: The Poetics of Contemporary Television Narrative by Jason Mittell. The book proposal was posted in March 2011, with individual chapters released in Winter 2012. The project is currently under reviewcontract with NYU Press, who has allowed me to post the pieces here for pre-publication and open-review.
To get notified on updates on the book, including new chapters published to the web, follow ComplexTV on Twitter or on Facebook, or subscribe to the email announcement list.
Throughout this process, I invite readers to offer comments to constructively engage with my ideas and arguments by holding conversations in the margins of the text. Any such comments and conversations will be used to strengthen the text for its final revision. I encourage readers to post under their real names to make the conversation more personal and engaging – note that as a book trying to reach a broad audience, I welcome comments from non-academics and academics alike. See these directions on using CommentPress if you’re new to the platform.
Please participate in the conversation!
