Glad to help out, Hans. Please spread the word about SCREEN-L around
German and Europe, won't you?

Allow me somewhat immodestly to suggest:
Jeremy G. Butler, "Notes on the Soap Opera Apparatus: Televisual
Style and AS THE WORLD TURNS," CINEMA JOURNAL 25, no. 3 (spring
1986): 53-70. This piece mostly focuses on visual style in soaps
and its function in meaning production.
Also, I know that Ellen Seiter has been working with two German (!)
colleagues on a mammoth soap opera study (stressing audience research
from a non-social science perspective). I don't have the title in
front of me though. Can anyone else fill in the details?
Also, E. Ann Kaplan's anthology, REGARDING TELEVISION (LA: AFI
Monograph series, 1983) has bits and pieces on soaps; as does Robert
C. Allen's collection, CHANNELS OF DISCOURSE (Chapel Hill: U of
North Carolina Press).
I'm not in my office so I can't give you more information just now.
Let me know if you'd like more.
