"Programming Reality: Perspectives on English-Canadian
Television," the first anthology dedicated to analyses of Canadian
television content, is a collection of original, interdisciplinary
articles, combining textual analysis and political economy of
communications. It explores the television that has thrived in the
Canadian regulatory and cultural context: namely, programs that
straddle the border between reality and fiction or even blur it.
The conceptual basis of this collection is the hybrid nature of
television fare: the widely theorized notion that all mediations of
reality involve fiction in the form of narrative or symbolic
shaping. Each of the contributions here is a reminder, too, of the
significant relationship of television to nation building in
Canada--to the imaginative work involved in thinking through the
relations that constitute nations, citizens, and communities. The
collection focuses on English-language Canadian television because
the imperatives guiding its texts are markedly different from those
pertaining to their French-lanugage counterparts. The collection,
therefore, develops a nuance of perspective on the cultural and
political economic specificities that inform the imaginative work
of television production for English Canada.
