Winner of the 2013 SCMS Best Edited Collection Award For decades,
television scholars have viewed global television through the lens
of cultural imperialism, focusing primarily on programs produced by
US and UK markets and exported to foreign markets. Global
Television Formats revolutionizes television studies by
de-provincializing its approach to media globalization. It
re-examines dominant approaches and their legacies of global/local
and center/periphery, and offers new directions for understanding
television's contemporary incarnations. The chapters in this
collection take up the format phenomena from around the globe,
including the Middle East, Western and Eastern Europe, South and
West Africa, South and East Asia, Australia and New Zealand, North
America, South America, and the Caribbean. Contributors address
both little known examples and massive global hits ranging from the
Idol franchise around the world, to telenovelas, dance
competitions, sports programming, reality TV, quiz shows, sitcoms
and more. Looking to global television formats as vital for various
cultural meanings, relationships, and structures, this collection
shows how formats can further our understanding of television and
the culture of globalization at large.
