This book provides an in-depth study of pinboards in contemporary television series and develops the interdisciplinary and innovative concept of Serial Pinboarding. Pinboards are character attributes; they visualize thought processes; are used for conspiracy theories, as murder walls, or for complex cases in any genre. They significantly condition, and are conditioned by, seriality. This book discusses how the pinboards in
Castle
,
Homeland
Flash Forward
, and
Heroes
connect evidence, knowledge, and seriality and how through transmediality and fan practices an “age of pinboarding” has formed.
Serial Pinboarding
in Contemporary Television
will appeal to TV enthusiasts, professionals and researchers, and students of TV and production studies, fan studies, media studies, and art theory.
