Trans-Reality Television: The Transgression of Reality, Genre,
Politics, and Audience offers an overview of contributions which
engage with the phenomenon of reality television as a tool to
reflect on societal and mediated transformations and
transgressions. While some contributors delve deep into the
theoretical issues, others approach the topic at hand through
empirical studies of specific reality television formats and
programs. The chapters in this volume are divided into four
sections, all of which deal with how we see the fluid social at
work in reality television through the trans-real, trans-politics,
trans-genre, and trans-audience. The first section stresses the
concept of the trans-real. These chapters go into the complexity of
the construction of reality in reality television. The second
section, which deals with the concept of trans-politics, offers a
diversity of perspectives on the articulation and re-articulation
of politics and the political. In the third section, trans-genre,
the chapters analyze how the modern conceptualizations of genre and
format are transcended. Finally, the last set of chapters
articulate the concept of trans-audiences, using case studies of
particular audiences and a study of reality celebrities.
Trans-Reality Television concludes by returning to the sense and
nonsense of the use of these 'post' concepts.
