book		Family television : cultural power and domestic leisure / by David Morley, with an introduction by Stuart Hall London: Comedia Publishing Group, 1986. Call No: 410.8 MOR Author: Morley, David Source: UK Place: London Publisher: Comedia Publishing Group PubDate: 1986 PhysDes: 178 p. ; 22 cm Series: Comedia series ; no. 37 Subject: VIEWERS; VIEWERS. UK; FAMILY AND TV Summary: "In this detailed study of television viewing among families from different cultural backgrounds, David Morley develops many of the themes of his earlier work on 'The Nationwide Audience' . This book extends that work into new territory, examining the different ways in which television is actually watched within the context of family life. Here television viewing is situated firmly within the politics of the living room and the structure of power relations within the family. This book looks at: who watches which types of television programmes with what kinds of attention - and why, who gets to choose which programmes the family will watch - and whose hand is on the automatic channel control device , who watches in silence - and who talks about what they watch to whom, how television fits in with domestic work, childcare and leisure interestes. Drawing on new work in the fields of Family Therapy and Social work, as well as the established traditions of media and communications studies, this book offers a new model for understanding television as a domestic medium. The analysis offered here, as to how television viewing is inextricably bound up with the complexities of family life, has radical implications for broadcasters, advertisers, students and teachers of the media understand their work - and for everyone concerned with the lpace of television in the home.
