Other Worlds: Society Seen Through Soap Opera

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Drawing on recent work on cultural theory, anthropologist Dorothy Anger examines the televised product and the industry that spawns it in order to understand the impact of the soaps on society. Particular attention is given to the ways in which the implicit messages of the soaps reflect and help to generate conceptions of gender roles in different societies to provide a "continuing renewal of the familiar".

About the Author
Dorothy Anger teaches anthropology at Memorial University, Newfoundland, and is the author of a study of women in the Newfoundland oil industry, and a CBC radio documentary on soap operas.
