Figures of Time

- Affect and the Television of Preemption

About Figures of Time

Toni Pape examines contemporary television that often presents a conflict-laden conclusion first before relaying the events that led up to that inevitable ending, showing how this narrative structure attunes audiences to the fear-based political doctrine of preemption-a logic that justifies preemptive action to nullify a perceived future threat.
