Description
The fourth edition of this acclaimed work features essays on such current topics as Mr. T, Dallas, music videos, soap operas, and the ideology and politics of television. With over half the essays news to this edition, the volume has been fully updated with articles on production techniques as well as innovative theories. The contributors span a wide range of disciplines and employ a variety of approaches--including semiotics, cultural studies, and institutional analyses along with more traditional views of plots and themes--to provide students with a broad, balanced perspective on popular television.
