Written by leading scholars in the field, this book is an
internationally relevant, cutting-edge reassessment of both current
methods and practices in television historiography and of
assumptions and critical common places about television history
itself. The book focuses on debates about the canon, on texts, on
production and institutions, on viewers, and the interconnections
between these distinct areas. The book opens with three chapters,
which take different approaches to the notion of the 'television
canon'. Then through discussions and case studies it covers a wide
selection of themes and issues, from television's approaches to
immigration and royal events to histories of television viewing,
and the framing of television aesthetics within historiography. The
book is prefaced with the editor's overview of historical research
in the field of television studies and an appendix details the main
research resources for television historians in the UK. The book
forms an open-ended intellectual dialogue, which will be welcomed
by television historians at all levels in this burgeoning area of
exploration and analysis.
