Description:
This book compares two forms of media, television and film, in two different countries, the US and Britain, in order to examine the ways they relate to the different cultural and social structures. After a history of the development of television and its social context, Stokes (media and society, South Bank U., London) reviews how television itself is depicted in its "rival cultural technology" of film, using a broad range of film examples such as Network and Videodrome.
