The latest addition to the Media and Society Series, Meanings of
the Medium takes a new approach to the study of the past, present,
and future of television. Most of its authors are not media experts
but literary critics, philosophers, rhetoricians, and historians.
They use their unique skills to examine three interwoven themes:
the origin and meaning of American attitudes toward television, the
relationship between high art and television's popular art, and the
relationship between particular kinds of programs and the
audience's sensibilities. Stressing an aesthetic and historical
approach, the volume directs itself to the reasons why people watch
particular programs and what these patterns tell us about
ourselves. This volume is divided into three sections. First,
Television and Society stresses the dynamic relationship between a
particular genre and the sensibility of its audience. Television
Programming as Art traces the subtle connections between High
culture and examples of contemporary television programs. The
development of American attitudes toward television is documented
by media experts in the final section, Television and Its Critics.
