From HGTV and the Food Network to Keeping Up With the Kardashians,
television is preoccupied with the pursuit and exhibition of
lifestyle. Lifestyle TV analyzes a burgeoning array of lifestyle
formats on network and cable channels, from how-to and advice
programs to hybrid reality entertainment built around the
cultivation of the self as project, the ethics of everyday life,
the mediation of style and taste, the regulation of health and the
body, and the performance of identity and "difference." Ouellette
situates these formats historically, arguing that the lifestyling
of television ultimately signals more than the television
industry's turn to cost-cutting formats, niche markets, and
specialized demographics. Rather, Ouellette argues that the surge
of reality programming devoted to the achievement and display of
lifestyle practices and choices must also be situated within
broader socio-historical changes in capitalist democracies.
