Interim book		Reality TV : Remaking television culture / Susan Murray (ed.) / Laurie Ouellette (ed.) London: New York University Press, 2004. Call No: 76:759 REA Author: Susan Murray (ed.); Laurie Ouellette (ed.) Place: New York; London Publisher: New York University Press PubDate: 2004 PhysDes: 23 cm ; 358 p Subject: REALITY SHOWS, TV. AUSTRALIA; DOCUMENTARIES; GAMES SHOWS; PROGRAMME GENRES; OSBOURNES, THE [TV] (US, 2002-); WOMEN AND TV; VIOLENCE ON TV; BIG BROTHER [TV] (AT, 2001-) Summary: Beginning by unearthing its historical roots in early reality shows like Candid Camera and wending its way through An American Family, Cops and The Real World to the most recent crop of reality programs, Reality TV is the first book to address the economic, visual, cultural, and audience dimensions of reality television. The essays provide a complex and comprehensive picture of how and why this genre emerged, what it means, how it differs from earlier television programming, and how it engages societies, industries, and individuals. Topics range from the construction of televisual “reality” to the hanging face of criminal violence on TV, to issues of surveillance, taste, and social control. By spanning reality television’s origins in the late 1940s to its current overwhelming popularity, Reality TV demonstrates both the tenacity of the format and its enduring ability to speak to our changing political and social desires and anxieties.

Interim book		Upping the ante : Survivor and Big Brother and the televisual triumph of the reality game show / Sophie Alexiadis Melbourne: 2004. Call No: 76:759.5 ALE Author: Sophie Alexiadis Place: Melbourne PubDate: 2004 PhysDes: 185 p ; 30 cm Subject: REALITY SHOWS, TV. AUSTRALIA; BIG BROTHER [TV] (AT, 2001-); GAMES SHOWS; GAMES SHOWS. AUSTRALIA; PROGRAMME GENRES; AESTHETICS Summary: This thesis conducts a formal analysis of the ways in which phenomenal television successes Survivor and Big Brother are situated in histories of dcumentary, reality television and game shows; and how they may indicate a broader change in television production aesthetics and viewing practices for the new millenium. Historically, the reality game shows Survivor and Big Brother can be seen as belonging to and perpetuating a form which commenced with the first television broadcasts: the game show genre. Yet, with hybridized formats incorporating elements of news, soap opera, talk shows or fly-on-the-wall documentaries, these recent shows exploit the latest television technology. How shows such as Survivor and Big Brother expand or subvert the game show genre is, therefore, central to this thesis. [Taken from thesis summary]. Notes: RMIT masters thesis More info
