New Publication: Transgressing Later Life Sexualities in British Sitcoms

Focusing on three representative sitcoms - Waiting for God, The Old Guys and Vicious - it demonstrates the ways in which sitcoms specifically enable and restrict representations of later life sexualities. Tracing how transgressive portrayals of sexually active older adults are couched in comedic terms, it opens up new critical perspectives on later life sexualities that will critically inform public debates and academic research – in Britain and beyond.

The book, written by Dr. Franziska Röber, has been published by Bloomsbury Academic.
