Description
Telemodernities: Television and Transforming Lives in Asia explores how lifestyle-oriented popular factual television is shaping modern life in South and East Asia. Through extensive interviews with industry professionals and audiences, the authors examine the impact of TV shows on identity, sociality, and capitalist modernity.
The proliferation of programmes such as yoga gurus on lifestyle cable channels and Chinese dating shows promoting competitive individualism highlights key aspects of late modernities in the region. This book offers insights into emergent forms of identity, social engagement, and public-private life.
