Figures Of Time: Affect And The Television Of Preemption (Thought In The Act)

Toni Pape examines contemporary television that often presents a conflict-laden conclusion first before relaying the events that led up to that inevitable ending, showing how this narrative structure attunes audiences to the fear-based political doctrine of preemption--a logic that justifies preemptive action to nullify a perceived future threat.
