The anthology brings together various approaches and contexts to Twin Peaks, addressing the show's unique production and reception aesthetics. The range of contributions covers diverse topics: genre mixing, transactuality, complex narrative structures, dream and dreamlike qualities, gender and identity concepts, extreme fan culture, visual aesthetics, acoustic dimensions, postmodern referential culture, and not least, the question of which other quality TV series became possible due to Twin Peaks.
