_Tele-Visions: Methods and Concepts in Television Studies_ has been 

specifically designed to offer a comprehensive, authoritative, 

accessible, and lively introduction to the subject of television 

studies.  Written by many of the leading international figures in the 

field, it covers all the major issues, debates, key terms, histories 

and methodologies that make up this exciting new area of expertise. 

Skillfully illuminated through actual programs, detailed case 

studies, and recommended readings, it offers invaluable insights into 

how television is produced, broadcast, controlled, consumed, and 

critically examined. From textual analysis to audience studies; from 

studying drama to studying documentary; from policy and regulation to 

regionality and globalization; from authorship to ideology; from 

modernism to postmodernism; from aesthetics to fandom; from histories 

to futures; this book offers an expansive and clearly structured 

account of both how and why we study television.



British Film Institute books are distributed in North America and 

Asia by the University of California Press.



Full information about the book, including the table of contents, is
