What do you feel is the social\/political purpose of exploring camp\/queer engagement with these programs?<\/li>\n<li>How do conventions of soap opera and\/or horror anthology programming inform\u00a0<em>Dark Shadows&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>and\/or\u00a0<em>Dante&#8217;s Cove&#8217;<\/em>s\u00a0narrative or aesthetic sensibilities? Why and how do these authors consider the horror genre as particularly suited to queer subjectivity and camp reading? Do you agree or disagree with their assessments?<\/li>\n<li>How do our authors understand\u00a0<em>Dark Shadows\u00a0<\/em>and\/or\u00a0<em>Dante&#8217;s Cove\u00a0<\/em>as operating through their\u00a0<strong>networks&#8217;\u00a0<\/strong>(ABC&#8217;s and Here!

Do these network logics seem to restrict or enhance the proliferation of camp\/queer discourses?<\/li>\n<li>Why does Owens argue for an industry studies approach to analyzing queer-themed programming like\u00a0<em>Dante&#8217;s Cove<\/em>? What evidence does he use to substantiate his formal analysis of the show? Do you find this method effective or limiting? How does this article differ from Benshoff&#8217;s reception study of\u00a0<em>Dark Shadows<\/em>?<\/li>\n<li>How does either program&#8217;s camp stylization differ from or complement the modes of performance, gender-play, and\/or social allegory evident in <em>Bewitched, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Dick van Dyke Show, Batman,\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0<em>An American Family<\/em>?&nbsp;\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For the dark shadows,\u201d Episode 212\u201d please find by yourself.
