Synopsis:
<i>The X-Files </i>was one of the most subversive and longest-running science fiction series in US television history. Yet very little serious work has been done to examine the hit series. <i>Deny All Knowledge</i> examines topics such as: - Why is the series such a hit worldwide? - Why is <i>The X-Files</i> so popular online, generating dozens of websites and chat groups daily? - How does <i>The X-Files</i>' <i>Conspiracy Theory</i> compares to shows from the 1950s? - Can <i>The X-Files</i> be considered a modern-day myth? - What does <i>The X-Files</i> tell us about gender roles today?
