Description de l'ouvrage:
This collection maps the origins of the Netflix series Sex Education in relation to the genre of teenage high school dramas and comedies, exploring the four-season narrative arc and analysing the principal themes and characters. The Netflix series Sex Education has been a standout critical and popular success and has featured among Netflix’s most watched content in 190 countries throughout its 4 seasons. Its fresh and exciting portrayals of teenagers and their friendships, relationships, identities and sexualities demand new frameworks for understanding gender and genre, as well as the dynamics of streaming and interaction with the audience. This collection considers the aesthetics of the series and its main philosophical, ethical and political aspects. It investigates the creative process behind the ground-and-taboo-breaking series, examining it as a cultural product that is both old and new in that it relies on tried and tested generic formulae while also being responsive to new identity formations.

Revue de Presse:
"Almost as bingeable as the series itself, this volume offers a fascinating exploration of a TV show which has arguably influenced young people's ideas around sexuality more than any formal educational initiative could hope to. This is a must-read for those teaching, or interested in, television, relationships and sex education - not only because of the show's widespread appeal, but also because it provides critical contemplation of the most relevant ideas arising in classrooms today." ―Amelia Jenkinson, Former CEO of the School of Sexuality Education, UK

"Sex Education: School's Out for Netflix brings together an important array of scholarship on the groundbreaking series Sex Education. This insightful and entertaining volume offers scholars, educators, and even fans of the show a unique opportunity to delve into the numerous ways the series tackles sexuality, gender, race, and identities." ―Michele Meek, Associate Professor, Bridgewater State University, USA
