Generation Gap and Cultural Hybridity: A Socio-Analytical Study of Never Have I Ever Season 1

Generation Gap and Cultural Hybridity presents a socio-analytical examination of intergenerational conflict and identity formation within a globalized, multicultural context. It is centered on the first season of the Netflix series Never Have I Ever, this book explores how cultural hybridity functions within diasporic families and how generational differences shape values, communication, and belonging.Grounded in Homi K. Bhabha's concept of the Third Space and supported by generational theory, the study analyzes character interactions to reveal how tradition and modernity are continuously negotiated rather than simply opposed. Particular attention is given to the mother-daughter relationship between Nalini and Devi Vishwakumar, which serves as a lens to understand the tensions and reconciliations emerging from immigrant experiences.Through media discourse analysis and close textual reading, the book demonstrates how contemporary television narratives reflect broader socio-cultural realities of globalization, migration, and multicultural identity. It contributes to scholarship in cultural studies, media studies, and intergenerational communication, offering insights relevant to researchers, educators, and media practitioners interested in diversity, representation, and cross-cultural understanding.
