_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
