Abstract

Summary: In her analysis of over a thousand TV film synopses, the author identifies a number of common elements which reveal current social trends and problems. Recurring themes in the synopses include the crisis in family life, the dominant role of women in relationships, paternity, prostitution, sexuality, the confusion of identities and the apparent absence of passion. In the world portrayed in these texts, where differences between the sexes and between generations have been eroded, it seems that the only lasting relationships are the most unlikely ones.
