| Abstract
|
:
|
Hartley (Queensland U. of Technology; Australian National U.) is the author of 15 books on communication and cultural studies topics. In his latest offering, he examines television, and TV studies, within the context of changes in the history of knowledge, showing how knowledge has intersected with media, how "reading publics" are formed in both cases, and what needs to be done in both education and television to bring TV truths into better understanding. Coverage includes the basis of knowledge within which we make sense of TV; the relations between television and its audiences; TV content and how television apprehends the world of the imagination via live events, reality TV, and synchronized sports programming; and the past and future of both television and television studies.
