This anthology examines the constructions of intelligence and
intellectuality in popular television and the socio-cultural
implications of those constructions. It considers the complexity of
popular television images, the influences of these images as they
both verify and vilify intelligence, and explores a range of
representations of intelligence on television by looking at a
variety of TV genres and through a variety of theoretical
perspectives and methods. Topics range from broad explorations of
patterned representations on television to examinations of
particular genres, including science-fiction and reality
programming, to in-depth analyses of specific programs such as The
Simpsons, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Six Feet Under. This book
is grounded in the assumption that knowledge and intelligence are
currency in the economics of power and that, given that the
proliferation of certain images and the relative absence of others
in fictional, reality, and fact-based media play an important role
in social-order maintenance, a critical examination of how
intelligence is demonstrated, portrayed, and evaluated in the
public sphere is crucial.
