Scenes from the Suburbs: The Suburb in Contemporary US Film and Television
Vermeulen, Timotheus (Professor of Media, Culture and Society, University of Oslo)
This book looks again at the filmic and televised spaces we think we know so well. How are these spaces built up? What is it that makes us recognize them as suburbs? How do they function? Vermeulen uses Desperate Housewives, The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Happiness, Pleasantville, Brick and Chumscrubber to explore these questions.
