Liebes, Tamar; Livingstone, Sonia
Communication Research, v21 n6 p717-41 Dec 1994
Offers a new approach for the study of soap opera, aimed at discovering the social boundaries within which a particular culture negotiates its primordial relationships. Reveals the interaction between culture, power, genre, and gender by tracing the complex kinship structures of family and romance among soap opera characters and by observing how this structure is activated by the narrative.
