Entertaining Television : The BBC And Popular Television Culture In The 1950s

  • Entertaining Television : The BBC And Popular Television Culture In The 1950s

  • Attribution

    Su Holmes

  • Publication Details

    Book, Manchester University Press, 2008

  • Description

    Drawing on extensive archival research, this book explores what can be termed case studies in popular program culture on 1950’s British television, with a particular focus on the BBC. Histories of 1950s British television have perpetuated the assumption that BBC television in this period was staid, elitist and paternalistic, while the competition from commercial television (ITV) was populist and appealing - capturing the increasingly mass audience for the medium and subsequently forcing the BBC to ‘catch up’.

  • Attribution

    Gordon B. Arnold

  • Publication Details

    Book, Praeger, 2008

  • Description

    By the 1990s, it was not unusual to find conspiracies used as explanations for a wide range of political events that would otherwise seem to have quite ordinary explanations. Conspiracy Theory in Film, Television, and Politics examines the intersection of various film and television productions in the context of unfolding political developments. The chapters follow this story chronologically, showing how screen media have both reflected and shaped the cultural milieu in which traumatic events and political controversies have been interpreted with increasing cynicism.

  • The Star As Icon : Celebrity In The Age Of Mass Consumption

  • Attribution

    Daniel Herwitz

  • Publication Details

    Book, Columbia University Press, 2008

  • Description

    Princess Diana, Jackie O, Grace Kelly& mdash;the star icon is the most talked about yet least understood persona. An effervescent being living on a distant, exalted planet, the star icon is also a melodramatic heroine desperate to escape her life and the ever-watchful eye of the media. Herwitz locates this double life in the opposing tensions of film, television, religion, and consumer culture, offering fresh perspectives on these subjects while ingeniously mapping society’s creation (and destruction) of these special aesthetic stars.

  • Attribution

    William H. Beezley

  • Publication Details

    Book, University of Arizona Press, 2008

  • Description

    In this enlightening book, the well-known historian William Beezley contends that a Mexican national identity was forged during the nineteenth century not by a self-anointed elite but rather by a disparate mix of ordinary people and everyday events. Mexican National Identity makes an important contribution to the growing body of literature that explores the influences of popular culture on issues of national identity.
