Alias
is a spy drama with a central action heroine, a complex
narrative of moral twists, turns, lies and double-crosses, and an
imaginative array of gadgets, gizmos and glamorous costumes.
First aired in
2001,
it has become a leading cult television series
with a loyal fan following. In the wake of
9/11,
Alias themes of
doubles and duplicity have been perfectly placed to comment on
global relations and the personal paranoias of post
9/11
citizens.
But as much as Alias reflects contemporary global politics, at its
core are themes of family and relationships. Investigating Alias
is the first book to give a full and fascinating Examination of the series
in its entirety, with a complete episode guide.
Placing the series within the wider contexts of American Duality
Television and the spy genre, the contributors consider the central
role of family, race, gender and moral ambiguity in Alias.
They also focus on the creator of Alias, JJ. Abrams, and discuss
the development and influence of the fan world beyond the series
with in-depth studies of DVD releases, as well as tie-in, fan and
slash fiction. Designed for fans, lovers of spies on screen, students
and scholars, Investigating Alias uncovers the secrets of
this landmark show.
Stacey Abbott is a Senior Lecturer in Film and Television Studies at Hoehampton
University and is the editor of Reading Angel: The TV Spin-On with a Soul [I.B.Tauris,
2005).
She is Beneral Editor of the Investigating Cult TV Series with Tauris.
Simon Brown is a Senior Lecturer in Film Studies at Kingston University. He has
published articles on early erotica, British colour films and the Titanic and most recently
was Senior Research Fellow for The London Project, mapping the growth of the film
industry in London from its
origina
up to
1914.
