Frontmatter -- Table of Contents -- After the Break. Television Theory Today -- Part I: Questioning the crisis -- ‘Unreading’ contemporary television -- Caught. Critical versus everyday perspectives on television -- The persistence of national TV. Language and cultural proximity in Flemish fiction -- Constructing television. Thirty years that froze an otherwise dynamic medium -- When old media never stopped being new. Television’s history as an ongoing experiment -- Part II: New paradigms -- Unblackboxing production. What media studies can learn from actor-network theory -- Convergence thinking, information theory and labour in ‘end of television’ studies -- Television memory after the end of television history? -- Part III: New concepts -- YouTube beyond technology and cultural form -- Move along folks, just move along, there’s nothing to see. Transience, televisuality and the paradox of anamorphosis -- Barry Chappell’s Fine Art Showcase. Apparitional TV, aesthetic value, and the art market -- About the authors -- Index
Summary: Television is evolving rapidly. How, then, might we respond to television today in light of its past? And do the old theoretical concepts still apply, or must we invent a new framework for this mutable medium? To answer these fundamental questions, the contributors to this provocative collection examine diverse case studies, including up-to-date scholarship on the current television zeitgeist, nostalgic programming on broadcast television, YouTube, and public television art programming of the 1980s. As a whole, these essays challenge the supposed crisis in television in the light of its burgeoning development.
