Förlagets beskrivning
TV Living presents the findings of a British Film Institute project in
which 500 participants completed detailed questionnaire-diaries over a five
year period, writing some three and a half million words on their lives, their
television watching, and the relationship between the two. Gauntlett and Hill
use this extensive data to explore some of the most fundamental questions in
media and cultural studies, focusing on issues of gender, identity, the impact
of new technologies, and life changes. Opening up new areas of debate, the
study sheds new light on audiences and their responses to issues such as sex
and violence on television. The structure of the study enables the authors to
track individual respondents changing attitudes as they approach the new media
age and experience personal life changes of their own. Each chapter addresses a major contemporary themes in media studies: how
families negotiate viewing choices, the impact of new technologies such as
video, satellite and cable, how young people make the transition to adult'
programming, viewer's often guilty or ambivalent feelings about watching
television, and audience responses or representations of women, disability, and
violence. A unique study of contemporary tv audience behaviour and attitudes,
TV Living offers a fascinating insight into the complex relationship between
mass media and people's lives today. A unique study of contemporary tv audience behaviour and attitudes, TV
