{"product_id":"planet-tv-a-global-television-reader-9780814766927","title":"Planet TV: A Global Television Reader","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the 1967 live satellite program Our World to MTV music videos in Indonesia, from French television in Senegal to the global syndication of African American sitcoms, and from representations of terrorism on German television to the international Teletubbies phenomenon, TV lies at the nexus of globalization and transnational culture.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePlanet TV\u003c\/b\u003e provides an overview of the rapidly changing landscape of global television, combining previously published essays by pioneers of the study of television with new work by cutting-edge television scholars who refine and extend intellectual debates in the field. Organized thematically, the volume explores such issues as cultural imperialism, nationalism, postcolonialism, transnationalism, ethnicity and cultural hybridity. These themes are illuminated by concrete examples and case studies derived from empirical work on global television industries, programs, and audiences in diverse social, historical, and cultural contexts.\u003cbr\u003e Developing a new critical framework for exploring the political, economic, sociological and technological dimensions of television cultures, and countering the assumption that global television is merely a result of the current dominance of the West in world affairs, \u003cb\u003ePlanet TV\u003c\/b\u003e demonstrates that the global dimensions of television were imagined into existence very early on in its contentious history. Parks and Kumar have assembled the critical moments in television's past in order to understand its present and future.\u003cbr\u003e Contributors include Ien Ang, Arjun Appadurai, Jose B.
