In this pathfinding study, Claudia Springer explores the techno-erotic imagery in recent films, cyberpunk fiction, comic books, television, software, and writing on virtual reality and artificial intelligence to reveal how these futuristic images actually encode current debates concerning gender roles and sexuality." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes indexISBN: 0292776977Donation: M.S.

How to watch television / edited by Ethan Thompson and Jason Mittell New York: New York University Press, 2013.
Call No: 67(04) THOAuthor: Thompson, Ethan ; Mittell, Jason Source: USPlace: New YorkPublisher: New York University PressPubDate: 2013PhysDes: x, 396 pages : illustrations ; 26 cmSubject: 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 BLURBNotes: Includes indexISBN: 9780814763988Contents: Acknowledgements -- Introduction: an owner's manual for television: Ethan Thompson and Jason Mittell --; I.

Arguing that rape-revenge is better understood not as a genre, but as a narrative structure, the author analyses the ways in which various deployments of this structure rework the ‘mass cultural fictions of femininity’ inscribed in the genres over which they have been mapped.

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 coverISBN: 9781925377101Contents: 1. The Televisual Landscape Today / Nick Herd -- 2.

Talking with television : woman, talk shows and modern self-reflexivity / Helen Wood Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2009.

By observing and analyzing the daily viewing habits of a dozen women viewers, Helen Wood captures how television dynamically unfolds alongside the viewers' own personal opinions, experiences, and life stories. She interprets these experiences as daily rituals of self-reflexivity, focusing on the performance of gender as a doubling of place in contemporary conditions of modernity. Offering a critical analysis of the ritual communication of talk television, Wood argues for a more sustained focus on the mechanics of mediated interaction in media studies, particularly as the field attempts to theorize the characterisitcs of 'old' and 'new' media. Directly challenging the fundamental assumption that new media forms are uniquely interactive, Talking with television reveals that televisual styles, particularly talk-based TV, have always sought to encourage a participatory relationship with viewers at home. -- BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p.

Woman up : invoking feminism in quality television / Julia Havas Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 2022.
Call No: 744-02(73) HAVAuthor: Havas, Julia Edition: 2022Place: DetroitPublisher: Wayne State University PressPubDate: 2022PhysDes: viii, 272 pages : illustratedSubject: FEMINISM AND TV ; GOOD WIFE, THE [TV] (US, 2009) ; GENDER AND TV ; PARKS AND RECREATION [TV] (US, 2009-15) ; SEX AND THE CITY [TV] (US, 1998-2004) ; WOMEN ON TV. USA ; [THIRTY] 30 ROCK [TV] (US, 2006-2013) Summary: While American television has long relied on a strategic foregrounding of feminist politics to promote certain programming’s cultural value, Woman Up: Invoking Feminism in Quality Television is the first sustained critical analysis of the twenty-first-century resurgence of this tradition. In Woman Up, Julia Havas’scentral argument is that postmillennial "feminist quality television" springs from a rhetorical subversion of the (much-debated) masculine-coded "quality television" culture on the one hand and the dominance of postfeminist popular culture on the other.
Postmillennial quality television culture promotes the idea of aesthetic-generic hierarchies among different types of scripted programming. Its development has facilitated evaluative academic analyses of television texts based on aesthetic merit, producing a corpus of scholarship devoted to pinpointing where value resides in shows considered worthy of discussion. Other strands of television scholarship have criticized this approach for sidestepping the gendered and classed processes of canonization informing the phenomenon. Woman Up intervenes in this debate by reevaluating such approaches and insisting that rather than further fostering or critiquing already prominent processes of canonization, there is a need to interrogate the cultural forces underlying them. Via detailed analyses of four TV programs emerging in the early period of the "feminist quality TV" trend—30 Rock (2006–13), Parks and Recreation (2009–15), The Good Wife (2009–16), and Orange Is the New Black (2013–19)—Woman Up demonstrates that such series mediate their cultural significance by combining formal aesthetic exceptionalism and a politicized rhetoric around a "problematic" postfeminism, thus linking ideals of political and aesthetic value.
Woman Up will most appeal to students and scholars of cinema and media studies, feminist media studies, television studies, and cultural studies. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780814346563
