Description
The 1980s saw an explosion in the use of home entertainment technology. In Video Playtime, Ann Gray explores how women used this new technology within their households and what kinds of programmes and films they enjoyed. Gray draws heavily on verbatim quotes from discussions to provide a detailed description of different types of household micro-cultures. This approach gives readers direct access to the women themselves and their experiences with domestic technology. The book also addresses questions of taste, cultural preference, and class, examining the dynamics of power within existing social and cultural relations. By investigating these topics, Gray sets the analysis within a wider social context, providing insight into the ways in which domestic technology reflects and shapes societal values.
