Description

Planet TV A Global Television Reader explores the rapidly changing landscape of global television, combining previously published essays with new work by cutting-edge scholars. Organized thematically, the volume examines issues such as cultural imperialism, nationalism, and postcolonialism through concrete examples and case studies from diverse social, historical, and cultural contexts. This collection sheds light on the political, economic, sociological, and technological dimensions of television cultures, challenging the assumption that global television is solely a result of Western dominance. By assembling critical moments in television's past, Parks and Kumar aim to understand its present and future. Through contributions from leading scholars, Planet TV provides a new framework for exploring the complexities of global television, illuminating the ways in which it reflects and shapes transnational culture.
