N2 - At a time when television (TV) studies was still an emerging subject, the soap opera
attracted a number of high-profile studies, largely conducted by feminists, that also set
the agenda for TV studies as a whole. While the soap opera no longer finds the same
level of attention, the scholarship of that time remains important to the work of feminist
TV researchers of different generations. In this dossier, five researchers, three of them
emerging and two of them mid-career, reflect on the importance of the scholarship to
their own work and careers, how their own work expands on it and what it tells us about
problems that feminist TV scholarship might encounter tomorrow.
