Tandem conceptual progression (TCP)
Children experiencing difficulties learning mathematics often have a long-embedded coping mechanism of looking to others as authorities for the correctness of their solutions. In this pilot case study, we demonstrate ways in which promoting their checking of their own answers can empower their development. Specifically, we examine answer-checking schemes that a cognitively diverse 6th grader with difficulties learning mathematics used when solvin…
“How did the ‘stories that never end’ end? Institutional concentration and the decline of the U.S. soap opera industry.”
Using a comprehensive data set containing organizational histories of all television soap operas that aired in the United States from 1949 to 2012, we focus on endogenous institutional dynamics that ultimately led to the dramatic decline of the once thriving form. Specifically, we focus on the rise of “institutionally central” soap operas that gave legitimacy to the form. We show that these soap operas, more than others, led to both the dramatic …

An examination of an inquiry-based hybrid online/in-person science methods course
This study explored elementary teacher candidates' perceptions of a hybrid (in-person/asynchronous online) science methods course and aimed to uncover how this blended approach could maximise the benefits of each modality. Grounded in the foundations of Dewey's experiential learning theory with a focus on an inclusive approach to course design, this study employed a qualitative methodology to investigate the experiences of teacher candidates. Dat…
Popular Culture Forms
This entry begins with a discussion of the scope and impact of serial narratives on the development of national television broadcast systems worldwide, then shifts to specific focus on US daytime soap operas. Soaps engage numerous sociological issues, including social identity, sociality/community, and cultural legitimation, and study of the genre is ongoing in multiple social‐scientific and humanities‐oriented disciplines
Fandom, Second Edition
Discourses of Distribution
Occupying the organizational space between television’s culture world of production and its audience, TV distribution serves as the institutional site where the industry implements its strategic transactions of global buying, selling, and transmission. Distribution not only connects the industrial processes of production and consumption to one another: these processes also transform TV texts and their meanings in the process. By clarifying how th…
Les discours de la distribution
Située entre l’univers culturel de la production télévisuelle et son audience, la distribution est une étape dans la circulation des biens télévisés : c’est dans cet espace institutionnel que le secteur de la télévision met en œuvre ses stratégies commerciales d’achats, de ventes et de diffusions à l’échelle mondiale. Mais la distribution ne se contente pas de relier les processus industriels de production des programmes et leur consommation, ell…
Soap Fans , Revisited
In 1995, we (Harrington and Bielby) published Soap Fans, an ethnography of the social organization of US daytime soap opera fans, and a book that sits uneasily between the first wave of Western fan studies which celebrated the communal and potentially resistant practices of fan communities, and the third wave which focused on intra- and inter-personal pleasures and motivations of fans (Gray, Sandvoss, and Harrington 2007). Our aim in this chapter…
Age, aging and mega-serials in Tamil Nadu
This qualitative, exploratory study examines issues of age and aging surrounding mega-serial (daily soap opera) production in Tamil Nadu, India. This study is timely for demographic reasons (a rapidly aging Indian population) and for the centrality of mega-serials to India’s entertainment landscape, coupled with the genre’s long history of engaging global audiences with real-world social issues. Two data sources are utilized: focus groups with 16…
Creativity and ageing in fandom
This article brings together insights from gerontology and fan studies to explore creative expression in late(r) life fandom. The migration of fandom to the Internet, combined with its increasing visibility and access to researchers, has led scholars to prioritise the tangible products of fan creativity: blogs, vlogs, cosplay, fanfic, fanfac, videos, and so on. In fact, fan studies seems on the brink of equating creativity with material output, a…
Aging, fans, and fandom
In this chapter, the authors focus on an earlier project in which they introduced insights from gerontology—the interdisciplinary study of age and aging—into fan studies. Fandom in youth and adolescence has received considerable attention over the years from industries and scholars alike, reflecting both the profit potential of the youth market and long-held associations between fan practices and childhood development. Physiological changes assoc…
Populating the Universe
The study of Star Trek fans by Henry Jenkins and Camille Bacon-Smith launched the analysis of fans&s; interpretive communities by scholars within the US. Twenty-two participants were interviewed altogether, a few individually, though most in small groups of between two and seven. Potential interviewees were approached by the first author while waiting in line for various panel presentations, based on visual and/or auditory cues alluding to an int…
Uma perspectiva sobre fãs ao longo da trajetória de vida
In this article we explore a life course perspective on fandom, with particular emphasis on fandom and adult development. While there is growing interest in issues of age and aging within fan studies and within media studies more broadly, there is a tendency in this literature to discuss aging and the life course atheoretically, ignoring a rich body of scholarship in fields that examines how lives unfold over time. Our goal in this manuscript is …
Soap Opera, Then and Now
This essay examines the sustained sociological relevance of US daytime soap operas, a seemingly dead or dying generic form that continues to influence the entertainment landscape as well as media scholars from across the academy. The essay begins by examining soaps' longstanding resonance with three‐core sociological concerns: identity, community or sociality, and cultural legitimacy. It then discusses scholarly research opportunities associated …

Aging, Media, and Culture
The intersections of aging, media, and culture are under-explored given trends in population aging, rapid increases in the mediation of everyday life, and the growing cultural significance of media consumption at the global level. This book brings together an international collection of critical scholars, both well-established and up-and-coming, from the various academic disciplines that share a common interest in the future study of aging and me…
The ars moriendi of US serial television
While a growing body of scholarship explores narrative beginnings, much less is known about narrative endings or narrative ‘deaths’. In this article I draw on media studies as well as gerontological and thanatological literature to explore the endings of US serial television, focusing on the criteria required for a ‘good textual death’. Situated in the notion that cultural objects have a biography or a life span much as individuals do, I ultimate…
Life course transitions and the future of fandom
We explore the future of media fandom through integrating insights from gerontology, human development, fan studies, and marketing. Given population aging and the dismantling of the normative 20th-century life course, along with rapid changes in the extent to which our lives are mediated, fandom is undergoing significant modification. We focus on how new findings on emotional maturation over the life course and scholarly identification of self-na…

Opening America
The U.S. dominance of the international television marketplace has long been a central focus for media scholars and policy leaders concerned with television’s impact on national culture. Thus, research on the export of U.S. television programs has focused almost exclusively on its “one-way flow,” and relatively little scholarly attention has been devoted to how programming from abroad fares in the United States or to how U.S. dominance in the glo…
Keep Your Fans to Yourself
This essay explores different understandings of fans and fandom between sport studies and pop culture studies through presentation of survey data originally collected for a study on global fandom/global fan studies. Email surveys from 65 fan scholars around the world reveal important distinctions between sport scholars and pop culture scholars in terms of their basic understandings of fans and fandom, the role of self-reflexivity in fan research,…
Homosexuality on All My Children
This study explores the question of whether lesbian or gay characters can be included long-term in daytime soap operas, a television genre historically predicated on the celebration of heterosexual romance. While daytime is typically ahead of prime-time in exploring controversial issues, its representation of gay and lesbian characters lags far behind prime-time comedies and dramas. The focus of investigation is the Bianca Montgomery storyline cu…
Where Did you Hear That
What happens when gossip—one of the most traditionally intimate forms of communication—“goes public” on electronic bulletin boards? We explore how impersonal trust, generated by the mode of transmission and the social context in which it occurs, alters gossip in particular and observable ways. Drawing upon exchanges about the entertainment industry that are representative of gossip on electronic bulletin boards, we find that members draw upon a v…
Talk About Embarrassment
Theory and research suggest that, while embarrassment may be intrinsic to social interaction, its expression is C. taboo. Embarrassment is seen as reflecting social incompetence. As such, members make routine attempts to repress embarrassment in the self and to deny embarrassment to self and others. I call this the taboo-repression-denial hypothesis. However, despite attempts at repression and denial, members reveal embarrassment in a variety of …

Is anyone else out there sick of the news
Who gets to decide what `counts' as `news'? Scholars debate whether journalists or corporate elites have more power to determine issues of newsworthiness, paying little attention to the opinions of consumers. This article investigates consumers' impact on the construction of an event or issue as newsworthy by examining their reactions to non-routine news coverage. Specifically, I analyze US television viewers' complaints about unscheduled pre-emp…
