The surprising effects of American TV on global viewers As a dominant cultural export, American television is often the first exposure to American ideals and the English language for many people throughout the world. Yet, American television is flawed, and, it represents race, class, and gender in ways that many find unfair and unrealistic. What happens, then, when people who grew up on American television decide to come to the United States? What do they expect to find, and what do they actually find? In America, As Seen on TV, Clara E. Rodríguez surveys international college students and foreign nationals working or living in the US to examine the impact of American television on their views of the US and on their expectations of life in the United States. She finds that many were surprised to learn that America is racially and economically diverse, and that it is not the easy-breezy, happy endings culture portrayed in the media, but a work culture. The author also surveys US-millennials about their consumption of US TV and finds that both groups share the sense that American TV does not accurately reflect racial/ethnic relations in the US as they have experienced them. However, the groups differ on how much they think US TV has influenced their views on sex, smoking and drinking. America, As Seen on TV explores the surprising effects of TV on global viewers and the realities they and US millennials actually experience in the US.The surprising effects of American TV on global viewers As a dominant cultural export, American television is often the first exposure to American ideals and the English language for many people throughout the world.

The Arab world is currently undergoing a radical media revolution, with the launch of numerous satellite and cable channels. The era of state-controlled media is coming to an end as privately-owned channels emerge. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the broadcasting similarities and differences between Al-Jazeera, Al-Arabiya and Al-Hurra. It is distinct in its focus on both the discursive practices of these channels and the sociological aspects that contribute to their formation.

Media critics invariably disparage the quality of programming produced by the U.S. television industry. But why the industry produces what it does is a question largely unasked. It is this question, at the crux of American popular culture, that Switching Channels explores.

Star Academy, objet d’études universitaires, est-ce bien sérieux ? Les contributeurs à cet ouvrage, issus de différentes disciplines en sciences humaines, en ont fait le pari ! Fruit d’un travail mené dans la bonne humeur, ce livre n’a pour ambition ni de critiquer vertement Star Academy, ni d’en faire l’apologie béate : loin de tout jugement moral catégorique sur une émission de télé-réalité qui alimente divers fantasmes, les auteurs proposent la confrontation de regards croisés, un dialogue interdisciplinaire à partir d’un objet ludique et plutôt inhabituel pour eux. Les diverses contributions proposent une lecture de l’émission à partir des cadres de leur discipline : que peuvent dire de Star Academy l’anthropologie, la criminologie, le droit, l’économie, la psychanalyse, la science politique, la sociologie ou la statistique ? Prenant appui sur un objet matériel commun, l’ouvrage est donc aussi une introduction didactique à différentes disciplines des sciences humaines. A ce titre, il constitue un support original pour des enseignants, notamment de la fin du secondaire, soucieux d’éclairer les élèves des classes terminales sur les questionnements et les démarches de l’anthropologue, du criminologue, de l’économiste, du juriste, du psychologue, du sociologue, du politologue ou du statisticien...

This revised edition of a now classic text includes a new introduction by Henry Jenkins, explaining 'Why Fiske Still Matters' for today's students, followed by a discussion between former Fiske students Ron Becker, Aniko Bodroghkozy, Steve Classen, Elana Levine, Jason Mittell, Greg Smith and Pam Wilson on 'John Fiske and Television Culture'. Both underline the continuing relevance of this foundational text in the study of contemporary media and popular culture.Television is unique in its ability to produce so much pleasure and so many meanings for such a wide variety of peop
