TV: Object Lessons

Autor Professor or Dr. Susan Bordo
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 mar 2021
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Once upon a time, the news was only 15 minutes long and middle-class families huddled around a tiny black-and-white screen, TV dinners on their laps, awaiting weekly sitcoms that depicted an all-white world in which mom wore pearls and heels as she baked endless pies. If this seems a distant past, that's a measure of just how much TV has changed-and changed us. Weaving together personal memoir, social and political history, and reflecting on key moments in the history of news broadcasting and prime time entertainment, Susan Bordo opens up the 75-year-old time-capsule that is TV and illustrates what a constant companion and dominant cultural force television has been, for good and for bad, in carrying us from the McCarthy hearings and The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet to Mad Men, Killing Eve, and the emergence of our first reality TV president.Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

Caracteristici

TV explores how the television "set" evolved from a component of living-room furniture (and a facilitator of family cohesion) to both a massive high-definition screen worthy of its own entertainment centers and specialty locations ("man caves" and "she-sheds") as well as a portable, individual companion in waiting rooms, during travel and exercise, and at social gatherings

Recenzii

Susan Bordo is old enough to remember when television was a thing-a set, a box, an electric window on a made-up world-and she pays wise, charming, and personal tribute to its meaning for a generation and a culture raised in its blue light. And that's the way it was.
In this lively and engaging analysis of what television has done for us and to us, the feminist cultural critic Susan Bordo takes us from Father Knows Best and Walter Cronkite to OJ, MadMen, Fox News, and much more. She shows how TV has shaped our politics and our purchases, our minds and our bodies, our definition of truth and our concept of reality. "We live in an empire of images," Bordo writes-one could not wish for a more knowledgeable and entertaining guide.
Entertaining. A thought provoking and interesting read.
