"Television and Everyday Life" explores the enigma of television,
and how it has insinuated its way so profoundly and intimately into
our daily lives. The book unravels television's emotional,
cognitive, spatial, temporal and political significance.
Drawing from a broad range of literature--from psychoanalysis to
sociology, from geography to cultural studies--Roger Silverstone
constructs a theory which places television in a central position
within the various realities and discourses which construct
everyday life. The medium emerges from these arguments as a
fascinating, complex phenomenon of contradictions, yet the book
explodes many of the myths surrounding what has been called "The
Love Machine."
"Television and Everyday Life" presents a radical new approach to
the medium, one that both challenges closely-held wisdoms, and
offers a compellingly original view of where telvision sits in
everyday life.
