soap operas and telenovelas  

Definition

  • The television soap opera had its origins in American radio serials in the first half of the twentieth century and has since then been adapted and experimented with around the globe as a highly popular television format. Its generic features (subplots, unresolved narratives, episodic structure), thematic attributes (interpersonal and professional rivalries, family values, relationships), and not least its reception by audiences, have all been the topic of much academic research.
