Titelbeschreibung

The Simpsons are not only the world's most famous TV family; they are
also the protagonists of one of the longest-lasting animation programs in
US television. Over the course of the past thirty years, the yellow five
from Springfield have become an indispensable part of American popular
culture which still turns academics into fans and inspires fans to
research the objects of their fascination.
This book focuses on the Halloween Special TREEHOUSE OF HORROR, a part of
THE SIMPSONS which research has largely left unnoticed. If THE SIMPSONS
revolutionized how we look through television at US-American culture and
society, TREEHOUSE OF HORROR has changed the way we re-member
popular-culture history by way of horror traditions. This study
demonstrates how Matt Groening's cartoon shows have painted a yellow
archive of the digital age.
