Yoga gurus on lifestyle cable channels targeting time-pressured
Indian urbanites; Chinese dating shows promoting competitive
individualism; Taiwanese domestic makeover formats combining feng
shui with life planning advice: Asian TV screens are increasingly
home to a wild proliferation of popular factual programs providing
lifestyle guidance to viewers. In Telemodernities Tania Lewis, Fran
Martin, and Wanning Sun demonstrate how lifestyle-oriented popular
factual television illuminates key aspects of late modernities in
South and East Asia, offering insights not only into early
twenty-first-century media cultures but also into wider
developments in the nature of public and private life, identity,
citizenship, and social engagement. Drawing on extensive interviews
with television industry professionals and audiences across China,
India, Taiwan, and Singapore, Telemodernities uses popular
lifestyle television as a tool to help us understand emergent forms
of identity, sociality, and capitalist modernity in Asia.
