Book Synopsis How Television Shapes Our Worldview by : Deborah A. Macey
Download or read book How Television Shapes Our Worldview written by Deborah A. Macey and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last half of the twentieth century, television has become the predominant medium through which the public accesses information about the world. Through the news, situation comedies, police dramas, and commercials, we learn about the world around us, and our role within it. These genres, narratives, and cultural forms are not simply entertainment, but powerful socializing agents that show the world as we might never see it in real life. How Television Shapes Our Worldview brings together a diverse set of scholars, methodologies, and theoretical frameworks to interrogate the ways through which television molds our vision of the outside world. The essays include advertising and public relations analyses, audience interviews, and case studies that touch on genres ranging from science fiction in the 1970s to current “reality” television. Television truly provides a powerful influence over how we learn about the world around us and understand its social processes.
Download or read book Television written by Wilson P. Dizard and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the purposes is to provide students of ·this subject with an over-all view of the current television scene throughout the globe. the work will be useful to the American television industry, particularly in enlarging its perspective of the medium's world role. For the present, the industry views overseas television almost exclusively in terms of an export market. This is a legitimate part of our national interest, but it is also a limited one. The long-range American role in international TV is going to be determined primarily by the attitudes and the action of the domestic TV industry. This work will prove useful to laymen concerned about our future in a world where the tides of social and political pluralism threaten to undermine the structure of an evolving world order. Our national ability to communicate effectively with three billion members of alien cultures is crucial in this process. Television, bringing the sights and sounds of our dialogue to Everyman's front parlor, is the most dramatic advance in mass-media technology since the invention of the printing press. Its capabilities are directly relevant to our national effort to build a stable democratic world order. The medium itself is neutral: it can be used to transmit the dialogue of free men building such an order or the commands of a dictator trying to prevent it. If my survey has any pretensions, they lie in the direction of attempting to influence a positive American response to this particular challenge.

Book Synopsis An Ethnography of Global Landscapes and Corridors by : Loshini Naidoo
Download or read book An Ethnography of Global Landscapes and Corridors written by Loshini Naidoo and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-03-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters presented in this book draw on ethnography as a methodology in a variety of disciplines, including education, management, design, marketing, ecology and scientific contexts, illustrating the value of a qualitative approach to research design. The chapters discuss the use of traditional ethnographic methods, such as immersion, observation and interview, as well as innovative ethnographical methods which have been influenced by the new digital culture. The latter challenges notions of identity, field and traditional culture such that people are able to represent themselves in the research process rather than be represented. New approaches to ethnography also examine the use and implication of images in representation as well as critically examining the role and impact of the researcher in the process.

Since American radio had for some time had international ramifications, American images and sounds were radiatingfrom transmitter towers throughout the globe. They were called entertainment or news or education but were always more. They were a reflection of a growing United States involvement in the lives of other nationsan involvement of imperial scope. The role of broadcasters in this American expansion and in the era that produced it is the subject matter of The Image Empire, the last of three volumes comprising this study.
Book Synopsis Mediated Geographies and Geographies of Media by : Susan P. Mains
Download or read book Mediated Geographies and Geographies of Media written by Susan P. Mains and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-12 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive volume to explore and engage with current trends in Geographies of Media research. It reviews how conceptualizations of mediated geographies have evolved. Followed by an examination of diverse media contexts and locales, the book illustrates key issues through the integration of theoretical and empirical case studies, and reflects on the future challenges and opportunities faced by scholars in this field. The contributions by an international team of experts in the field, address theoretical perspectives on mediated geographies, methodological challenges and opportunities posed by geographies of media, the role and significance of different media forms and organizations in relation to socio-spatial relations, the dynamism of media in local-global relations, and in-depth case studies of mediated locales. Given the theoretical and methodological diversity of this book, it will provide an important reference for geographers and other interdisciplinary scholars working in cultural and media studies, researchers in environmental studies, sociology, visual anthropology, new technologies, and political science, who seek to understand and explore the interconnections of media, space and place through the examples of specific practices and settings.
Book Synopsis Living with Cultivating Messages by : Elena Pelzer
Download or read book Living with Cultivating Messages written by Elena Pelzer and published by Nomos Verlag. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wie beeinflussen Botschaften aus dem Fernsehen unsere Wahrnehmung über die soziale Realität? Meistens konzentrieren sich Kultivierungsstudien zu dieser Frage auf die Medieneffekte. Doch das vorliegende Buch wählt einen neuen Ansatz und stellt die kultivierenden Botschaften in den Vordergrund. Das Buch behandelt, was Botschaften sind und wie sich uniforme von genrespezifischen Botschaften und Metanarrativen unterscheiden. Es werden verschiedene theoretische und fachliche Perspektiven zusammengebracht und das neue Botschaftskonzept 'Subgenre-Botschaften' vorgestellt, welches die Veränderungen der Medienlandschaft hin zum Online-Fernsehen berücksichtigt. Die computergestützte Simulationsstudie zeigt, inwiefern sich manche Botschaftskonzepte mehr ähneln als andere, und demonstriert, dass Subgenre-Botschaften am robustesten gegenüber Verzerrungen sind.

Book Synopsis Christian Worldview and the Academic Disciplines by : Deane E. D. Downey
Download or read book Christian Worldview and the Academic Disciplines written by Deane E. D. Downey and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-04-15 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book--an edited compilation of twenty-nine essays--focuses on the difference(s) that a Christian worldview makes for the disciplines or subject areas normally taught in liberal arts colleges and universities. Three initial chapters of introductory material are followed by twenty-six essays, each dealing with the essential elements or issues in the academic discipline involved. These individual essays on each discipline are a unique element of this book. These essays also treat some of the specific differences in perspective or procedure that a biblically informed, Christian perspective brings to each discipline. Christian Worldview and the Academic Disciplines is intended principally as an introductory textbook in Christian worldview courses for Christian college or university students. This volume will also be of interest to Christian students in secular post-secondary institutions, who may be encountering challenges to their faith--both implicit and explicit--from peers or professors who assume that holding a strong Christian faith and pursuing a rigorous college or university education are essentially incompatible. This book should also be helpful for college and university professors who embrace the Christian faith but whose post-secondary academic background--because of its secular orientation--has left them inadequately prepared to intelligently apply the implications of their faith to their particular academic specialty. Such specialists, be they professors or upper-level graduate students, will find the extensive bibliographies of recent scholarship at the end of the individual chapters particularly helpful.
Book Synopsis Consumerism, 4th Ed. by : David A. Aaker
Download or read book Consumerism, 4th Ed. written by David A. Aaker and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1982-02 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new edition of this highly acclaimed anthology continues to provide the most comprehensive, rigorously balanced survey available of modern consumerism. Written by a wide range of experts, the 42 articles -- half of them new to this edition -- cover today's most important consumer and public policy issues: advertising and the disclosure of consumer information, selling practices, anti-trust issues and competition, product safety, liability, and consumer satisfaction. As in previous editions, the articles are arranged according to the steps in the purchase process. New to this edition are detailed discussions of such current issues as the costs and benefits of government regulation, advertising to children, consumer information systems, and demarketing (encouraging consumers to use less of such products as tobacco and energy). The final section assesses the response of business and industry to consumer pressures.
Download or read book Television Culture written by John Fiske and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 people. In this book, John Fiske looks at television’s role as an agent of popular culture, and goes on to consider the relationship between this cultural dimension and television’s status as a commodity of the cultural industries that are deeply inscribed with capitalism. He makes use of detailed textual analysis and audience studies to show how television is absorbed into social experience, and thus made into popular culture. Audiences, Fiske argues, are productive, discriminating, and televisually literate. Television Culture provides a comprehensive introduction for students to an integral topic on all communication and media studies courses.
Book Synopsis Latin American Television by : John Sinclair
Download or read book Latin American Television written by John Sinclair and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1998-12-17 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin American Television makes English speakers aware of the dimensions, operation, and significance of the globalization of television in the Spanish-speaking world. Second only in scale to the market for English-language programming, the Spanish-language market embraces not just most nations of South and Central America but also Spain, and even the United States—the sixth largest Spanish-speaking country in the world. This intercontinental space is connected physically by satellite communication, and culturally by a common language and heritage which binds it as both a `geolinguistic region' and an `imagined community' which certain media corporations, Latin American and North American, seek to exploit. A similar phenomenon with regard to Brazil and the Portuguese-speaking world is also examined, with special attention to its comparable features and points of exchange with the Spanish-speaking world. The book chronicles and analyses the development and structure of the globalization of these markets as a `Latin world'.
