Time and Relative Dissertations in Space: Critical Perspectives on Doctor Who David Butler

Time and relative dissertations in space takes the reader on a rich and varied study of one of the greatest television programmes of all time: Doctor Who. This book is the first study of Doctor Who to explore the Doctor's adventures in all their manifestations: on television, audio, in print and beyond. Although focusing on the original series (1963-89), the collection recognises that Doctor Who is a cultural phenomenon that has been 'told' in many ways through a myriad of texts. Combining essays from academics as well as practitioners who have contributed to the ongoing narrative of Doctor Who, the collection encourages debate with contrasting opinions on the strengths (and weaknesses) of the programme, offering a multi-perspective view of Doctor Who and the reasons for its endurance.

Time and Relative Dissertations in Space Bewertungen

"Adds to existing scholarship on "Doctor Who" in important ways the book brings together the work of an impressive range of writers that collectively present an engaging, thought-provoking and complex analysis of the texts of "Doctor Who.""--Cathy Johnson, Department of Media Arts, Royal Holloway University of London."
