Description

"Television and Everyday Life" explores the enigma of television, and how it has insinuated its way so profoundly and intimately into our daily lives. The book unravels television's emotional, cognitive, spatial, temporal and political significance. Drawing from a broad range of literature--from psychoanalysis to sociology, from geography to cultural studies--Roger Silverstone constructs a theory which places television in a central position within the various realities and discourses which construct everyday life. The medium emerges from these arguments as a fascinating, complex phenomenon of contradictions, yet the book explodes many of the myths surrounding what has been called "The Love Machine." "Television and Everyday Life" presents a radical new approach to the medium, one that both challenges closely-held wisdoms, and offers a compellingly original view of where telvision sits in everyday life.
