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

Attribution
Su HolmesPublication Details
BookManchester University Press2008Description
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’.

Reinventing Richard Nixon : A Cultural History Of An American Obsession

Attribution
Daniel FrickPublication Details
BookUniversity Press of Kansas2008Description
He cites reinventions of Nixon from the late 1980s, particularly the museum at the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace, to demonstrate the resilience of certain national mythic narratives in the face of liberal critiques. With dozens of illustrations–Nixon posing with Elvis (the National Archives’ most requested photo), Nixonian cultural artifacts, classic editorial cartoons–no other book collects in one place such varied images of Nixon from so many diverse media. Whether your image of Nixon is shaped by his autobiography Six Crises, Oliver Stone’s surprisingly sympathetic film Nixon, John Adams’s landmark opera Nixon in China, or by the saga of Watergate, Reinventing Richard Nixon expands on all perspectives.

The Rise Of True Crime : Twentieth Century Murder And American Popular Culture

Attribution
Jean MurleyPublication Details
BookPraeger Publishers2008Description
With skyrocketing crime rates and the appearance of a frightening trend toward social chaos in the 1970s, books, documentaries, and “fiction” films in the true crime genre tried to make sense of the Charles Manson crimes and the Gary Gilmore execution events. Through the suggestion that certain kinds of killers are “monstrous” or outside the realm of human morality, and through the perpetuation of the “stranger-danger” idea, the true crime aesthetic has both responded to and fostered our culture’s fears. The Rise of True Crime examines the various genres of true crime using the most popular and well-known examples. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Availability
