Global Utopian Film and TV in the Age of Dystopia A special issue of Science Fiction Film and Television Edited by Leimar Garcia-Siino Sean Guynes-Vishniac Global Utopian Film and TV in the Age of Dystopia , a special issue of Science Fiction Film and Television ( SFFTV ), seeks essays that confront a pressing problem at the intersection of media and utopian studies.

Not unlike other media, television is undergoing major changes. The Internet, as well as the possibilities of digitisation and storage, has contributed to the transnational circulation of content and, most importantly, the development of over-the-top (OTT) media services.

The past 20 years have seen the rise of the once-humble television series to new heights of popular success and critical estimation. Given this rise, this book asks if and how contemporary scripted television and web series can be read as a form of literature.
