Emotions, Genre, Justice in Film and Television - Detecting Feeling

Emotions, Genre, and Justice in Film and Television explores textual representations of emotions from a cultural perspective. It considers emotions as structures of feeling that are collectively shared and historically developed, focusing on the justice genres - the generic network of film and television programs that are concerned with crime, law, and social order - to examine how fictional police, detective, and legal stories participate in collectively realized conceptions of emotion.
