Global Television cover

In this book Chris Barker situates television as a cultural phenomenon in the context of global modernity.

  • The first text to bring together in a single volume the arguments and evidence in the field
  • The first genuine introduction to this topic
  • The author is adept at providing the reader with useful summaries and evaluations of the key arguments and points

"At last, here is a really stimulating and carefully organised new book which theorises the interpenetration of the medium of television with public and private culture in the age of globalisation, offering some clear thinking while shuffling into a single pack the whole range of postmodern ideas." Anthony Smith, Times Higher Education Supplement
