Reality TV

From early first-wave programs such as Candid Camera An American Family and The Real World to the shows on our television screens and portable devices today reality television consistently takes us to cities—such as New York Los Angeles and Boston—to imagine the place of urbanity in American culture and society. Jon Kraszewski offers the first extended account of this phenomenon as he makes the politics of urban space the center of his history and theory of reality television. Kraszewski situates reality television in a larger economic transformation that started in the 1980s when America went from an industrial economy when cities were home to all classes to its post-industrial economy as cities became key points in a web of global financing expelling all economic classes except the elite and the poor. Reality television in the industrial era reworked social relationships based on class race and gender for liberatory purposes which resulted in an egalitarian ethos in the genre. However reality television of the post-industrial era attempts to convince viewers that cities still serve their interests even though most viewers find city life today economically untenable. Each chapter uses a key theoretical concept from spatial theory—such as power geometries diasporic nostalgia orientalism the imagination of social expulsions and the relationship between the country and the city—to illuminate the way reality television engages this larger transformation of urban space in America. | Reality TV

Popularizing Japanese TV The Cultural Economic and Emotional Dimensions of Infotainment Discourse

Over the past years the view has emerged that Japanese TV is dominated by an infotainment mode of discourse. The book extends this view detailing and interpreting the cultural economic and emotional dimensions of this communication phenomenon from an ethnographic perspective. It examines the complex ways in which infotainment works in an advanced capitalist society. As such this is more than a book about Japan; it is a work that fits within media ethnography and cultural studies and appeals to readers interested in the question of how television at the heart of the global media stream successfully turns into a persuasive intimate and powerful member of a televisual audience-family through carefully engineered televisual discourses linguistic/non-linguistic component audiovisual strategies and economic and cultural elements. Drawing on ethnographic observations in TV stations in two major cities Sendai and Tokyo the book reveals several essential components embedded within infotainment discourse. Thus this book not only provides a panoramic picture of a core phenomenon in Japanese broadcasting since the 2000s but also discusses how both cultural discourses and economic considerations influence contemporary television broadcasting. | Popularizing Japanese TV The Cultural Economic and Emotional Dimensions of Infotainment Discourse
