Summary: "Blurred Boundaries explores decisive moments where the traditional boundaries of fiction/non-fiction and truth/falsehood blur. Nichols argues that the history of social representation in film, television, and video requires an understanding of the fate of both contemporary and older work. Traditionally, film history and cultural studies sought to place films in a historical context. Nichols proposes a new goal: to examine how specific works, old and new, promote or suppress a sense of historical consciousness. Examining work from Eisenstein's Strike to the Rodney King videotape, Nichols interrelates issues of formal structure, viewer response, and historical consciousness. Simultaneously, Blurred Boundaries radically alters the interpretative frameworks offered by neoformalism and psychoanalysis: Comprehension itself becomes a social act of transformative understanding rather than an abstract mental process, while the use of psychoanalytic terms like desire, lack, or paranoia to make social points metaphorically yields to vocabulary designed expressly for historical interpretation - such as project, intentionality, and the social imaginary. An important departure from prevailing trends in many fields, Blurred Boundaries offers new directions for the study of visual culture." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "Recent scandals surrounding faked TV documentaries have brought the whole issue of ethics to the foreground of media debate. Most good documentarists and journalists would agree that ethics lie at the heart of responsible programme-making. However, the topic awaits full exploration and top TV executives recoil at the very mention of the word. Looking at the crises of confidence in public service broadcasting and the controversy surrounding docusoaps, Brian Winston's major new work provides a foundational study of ethics and the documentary." -- Taken from book cover.

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.

Summary: "Beginning around 2003, television studies has seen the growth of interest in the genre of reality shows. However, concentrating on this genre has tended to sideline the even more significant emergence of the program format as a central mode of business and culture in the new television landscape. TV Formats Worldwide redresses this balance, and heralds the emergence of an important, exciting and challenging area of television studies. Topics explored include reality TV, makeover programs, sitcoms, talent shows and fiction serials, as well as broadcaster management policies, production decision chains and audience participation processes. The seminal work will be of considerable interest to media scholars internationally." -- Back cover

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].

Summary: "This thesis examines first person accounts of former reality television participants who have appeared on Australian versions of Big Brother, Australian Idol and The Biggest Loser. While scholars have researched audience responses to a wide range of reality shows, little research has been conducted on the participants themselves. My qualitative research study involving 15 semi-structed one-on-one interviews with reality TV participants addresses this gap, using these accounts to explore broader issues surrounding late modern identity and subjectivity" -- ABSTRACT
