USA; PLOT AGAINST AMERICA (US, 2020); SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE [TV] (US, 1975-); STAR TREK [ GENERAL]; AMERICAN HORROR STORY [TV] (US, 2011) Summary: In American Television during a Television Presidency, Karen McNally and contributors critically examine the various ways in which television became transfixed by the Trump presidency and the broader political, social, and cultural climate. This book is the first to fully address the relationship between TV and a presidency consistently conducted with television in mind. The sixteen chapters cover everything from the political theater of televised impeachment hearings to the potent narratives of fictional drama and the stinging critiques of comedy, as they consider the wide-ranging ways in which television engages with the shifting political culture that emerged during this period. Approaching television both historically and in the contemporary moment, the contributors - an international group of scholars from a variety of academic disciplines- illuminate the indelible links that exist between television, American politics, and the nation’s broader culture. As it interrogates a presidency played out through the lens of the TV camera and reviews a medium immersing itself in a compelling and inescapable subject, American Television during a Television Presidency sets out to explore what defines the television of the Trump era as a distinctive time in TV history. From inequalities to resistance, and from fandom to historical memory, this book opens up new territory in which to critically analyze television’s complex relationship with Donald Trump, his presidency, and the political culture of this unsettled and simultaneously groundbreaking era. Undergraduate and graduate students and scholars of film and television studies, comedy studies, and cultural studies will value this strong collection. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9780814349359 Donation: Senses of Cinema More info

Said Edition: revised edition Place: London Publisher: Random House PubDate: 1997 PhysDes: lxx, 202 pages ; 20 cm Subject: CULTURAL IMPERIALISM; IRAN; MEDIA; MEDIA STUDIES; POLITICS AND TV; PROPAGANDA ON TV; TYPE CHARACTERS ON TV Summary: "From the Iranian hostage crisis through the Gulf War and the World Trade Center bombing, the West has been huanted by a spectre called 'Islam'. As portrayed by the news media - and by a chorus of government, academic and corporate experts - 'Islam' is synonymous with terrorism and religious hysteria. At the same time, Islamic countries use 'Islam' to justify unrepresentative and often repressive regimes. In this landmark work, for which he has written a new introduction, one of our foremost public thinkers examines the origins and repercussions of the media's monolithic images of Islam. Combining political commentary with literary criticism, Edward Said reveals the hidden assumptions and distortions of fact that underlie even the most 'objective' coverage of the Islamic world." - BOOK BLURB Notes: contains index ISBN: 009959501x Donation: donated by the family of Wayne Levy, 2006 More info

book		How to watch television / edited by Ethan Thompson and Jason Mittell New York: New York University Press, 2013. Call No: 67(04) THO Author: Thompson, Ethan; Mittell, Jason Source: US Place: New York Publisher: New York University Press PubDate: 2013 PhysDes: x, 396 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm Subject: AESTHETICS; AUDIENCES; CRITICISM, TV.; CULTURAL IMPERIALISM; FEMINISM AND TV; INDUSTRY, TV.; INDUSTRY, TV. USA; NATIONAL CULTURE AND TV; POLITICS AND TV; YOUTUBE Summary: "We all have opinions about the television shows we watch, but television criticism is about much more than simply evaluating the merits of a particular show and deeming it "good" or "bad". Rather, criticism uses the close examination of a television program to explore that program's cultural significance, creative strategies, and its place in a broader social context. How to Watch Television brings together forty original essays from today's leading scholars on television culture, writing about the programs they care (and think) the most about. Each essay focuses on a particular television show, demonstrating one way to read the program and, through it, our media culture. The essays model how to practice media criticism in accessible language, providing critical insights through analysis - suggesting a way of looking at TV that students and interested viewers might emulate. The contributors discuss a wide range of television programs past and present, covering many formats and genres, broadcast and cable, providing a broad representation of the programs that are likely to be covered in a media studies course. While the book primarily focuses on American television, important programs with international origins and transnational circulation are also covered. Addressing television series from the medium's earliest days to contemporary online transformations of television, How to Watch Television is designed to engender classroom discussion among television critics of all backgrounds." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes index ISBN: 9780814763988 Contents: Acknowledgements -- Introduction: an owner's manual for television: Ethan Thompson and Jason Mittell --; I.

book		The image decade : television documentary, 1965-1975 / by Charles Montgomery Hammond, Jr New York: Hastings House, c1981. Call No: 761 HAM Author: Hammond, Charles Montgomery Place: New York Publisher: Hastings House PubDate: c1981 PhysDes: 285 p. : ports. ; 25 cm Series: Communication arts books; Studies in public communication Subject: CBS; DOCUMENTARIES; KENNEDY FAMILY ON TV; NBC TELEVISION NETWORK; NEWS PROGRAMMES; NIXON [RICHARD M.] ON TV; NON-FICTION PROGRAMMES; POLITICS AND TV; SOCIAL PROBLEMS ON TV; VIETNAM WAR ON TV Summary: "During the volatile years of 1965-1975, television emerged as the single most potent medium for bringing truth to the American public. Unforgettably vivid images and thought-provoking, soul-stirring commentary came right into the living room, creating a new and exciting awareness of world events. Documentary became a form of television that could best speak the truth. The Image Decade describes the evolution of commercial network relevision news and theme documentary during those turbulent years, offering theory, criticism, history, and practical illustrations. Provocative analyses of the work of outstanding documentary producers and reporters at NBC, CBS and ABC are provided, revealing how these men and women brought the great domestic issues, scientific advances and space explorations, war stories from Vietnam, the Middle East and Northern Ireland, and the successive power struggles in Washington into the American home. Throughout this period, events both wonderful and terrible took place all over the world. Television was there to capture them, with the result that newsgathering became an essential public service offered by the networks. Television documentary took this service one step further by presenting an innovative visual manifestation of history. With its lively descriptions and informative appraisals, The Image Decade sheds a bright light on the major part television news and documentary has played in our lives." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes index; Bibliography: p. 267-269 ISBN: 0803834322 (pbk.); 0803834314 LON: 1892916 URL status: URL: 'http://-' Checked: 31/08/2021 12:58:45 PM Status: Error Details: Failed to send HTTP request (WinHttpSendRequest) More info

J. Simpson arrest and pretrial hearings, the L.A. uprisings, the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas hearings, and the "family values" debate between Dan Quayle and Murphy Brown. He illustrates how African Americans, Korean Americans, Latinos, and women have succeeded in making their hitherto unheard voices heard and have influenced the nation's reaction to media events such as these. Fiske also analyzes speeches by George Bush, Dan Quayle, and Pat Buchanan, along with media commentary by Rush Limbaugh and CNN's Greg LaMotte, to reveal what Americans successfully rejected in ushering out the Reagan era. Through his analysis of the contradictory and diverse voices that make up U.S. culture, Fiske traces the nation's swing away from Reaganism and offers urgent warnings for the future Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 269-273) and index ISBN: 0816624623 (acid-free paper) LON: 10867683 More info

A series of original essays focus on a range of programs, from The Daily Show to South Park, Da Ali G Show to The Colbert Report, The Boondocks to Saturday Night Live, Lil' Bush to Chapelle's Show, along with Internet DIY satire and essays on British and Canadian Satire. They all offer insights into what today's class of satire tells us about the current state of politics, of television, of citizenship, all the while suggesting what satire adds to the political realm that news and documentaries cannot.

Neighbours turned 30. Struggle Street was accused of poverty porn. Pete evangelised Paleo. Gina got litigious. Netflix muscled in. The Bachelor spawned The Bachelorette. Peter Allen’s maraccas were exhumed. The Labor Party ate itself. Anzac was an anti-climax. Join us as we survey the Australian televisual landscape, and try to make sense of the myriad changes transforming what and how we watch. We’ve come a long way since Bruce Gyngell welcomed us to television in 1956. We now watch on demand and wherever we want, in our lounge rooms and on our devices. But some things stay the same. The small screen is still a place for imagining Australia, for better or for worse. Small Screens challenges and celebrates our contemporary TV worlds. -- taken from back cover ISBN: 9781925377101 Contents: 1. The Televisual Landscape Today / Nick Herd -- 2.
