For over half a century, television has been the most central
medium in Western democracies the political, social and cultural
centrepiece of the public sphere. Television has therefore rarely
been studied in isolation from its socio-cultural and political
context; there is always something important at stake when the
forms and functions of television are on the agenda. The
digitisation of television concerns the production, contents,
distribution and reception of the medium, but also its position in
the overall, largely digitised media system and public sphere where
the internet plays a decisive role.
The articles in this comprehensive collection are written by
some of the world s most prominent scholars in the field of media,
communication and cultural studies, including critical film and
television studies.
Relocating Television offers readers an insight into studying
television alongside the internet, participatory media and other
technocultural phenomena such as DVDs, user-generated content and
everyday digital media production. It also focuses on more specific
programmes and phenomena, including The Wire, MSN, amateur footage
in TV news, Bollywoodization of TV news, YouTube, fan sites tied to
e.g. Grey's Anatomy and X Factor. Relocating Television will be
highly beneficial to both students and academics across a wide
range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses including media,
communication and cultural studies, and television and film
studies.
