Download or read book Social Learning from Broadcast Television written by Karen Swan and published by Hampton Press (NJ). This book was released on 1998 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the issue of social learning from broadcast television has been of interest to a wide range of researchers and observers. The chapters in this volume employ a variety of research methodologies and focus on a variety of dimensions of the current broadcast television picture. Topics discussed range from content analyses of current programmes to an ethnographic study of how British children use television to gain power over parents and peers, to an examination of the historically contingent phenomena that surround the production and viewership of particular shows, to an analysis of American sitcoms that play a role in the second language learning processes of non-native speakers of English. The wide range of vantage points is provided to remain true to the notion that social realities as portrayed on, created by, or constructed behind the scenes of television, are negotiable, ever-changing and mutually influencing constructs. The chapters therefore represent not only different discussions about the issue of social learning from broadcast television, but also function as dialogues with the media scholar, communications media specialist, educational psychologist, classroom teacher or interested viewer.

Download or read book Television and the Self written by Kathleen M. Ryan and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-04-05 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sitting prominently at the hearth of our homes, television serves as a voice of our modern time. Given our media-saturated society and television’s prominent voice and place in the home, it is likely we learn about our society and selves through these stories. These narratives are not simply entertainment, but powerful socializing agents that shape and reflect the world and our role in it. Television and the Self: Knowledge, Identity, and Media Representation brings together a diverse group of scholars to investigate the role television plays in shaping our understanding of self and family. This edited collection’s rich and diverse research demonstrates how television plays an important role in negotiating self, and goes far beyond the treacly “very special” episodes found in family sit-coms in the 1980s. Instead, the authors show how television reflects our reality and helps us to sort out what it means to be a twenty-first-century man or woman.

Download or read book Big World Small Screen written by and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Big World, Small Screen assesses the influence of television on the lives of the most vulnerable and powerless in American society: children, ethnic and sexual minorities, and women. Many in these groups are addicted to television, although they are not the principal audiences sought by commercial TV distributors because they are not the most lucrative markets for advertisers. This important book illustrates the power of television in stereotyping the elderly, ethnic groups, gays and lesbians, and the institutionalized and, thus, in contributing to the self-image of many viewers. They go on to consider how television affects social interaction, intellectual functioning, emotional development, and attitudes (toward family life, sexuality, and mental and physical health, for example). They illustrate the medium's potential to teach and inform, to communicate across nations and cultures?and to induce violence, callousness, and amorality. Parents will be especially interested in what they say about television viewing and children. Finally, they offer suggestions for research and public policy with the aim of producing programming that will enrich the lives of citizens all across the spectrum. Nine psychologists, members of the Task Force on Television and Society appointed by the American Psychological Association, have collaborated on Big World, Small Screen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital Broadcasting presents an introduction to how the classic notion of 'broadcasting' has evolved and is being reinterpreted in an age of digitization and convergence. The book argues that 'digital broadcasting' is not a contradiction in terms, but-on the contrary-both terms presuppose and need each other. Drawing upon an interdisciplinary and international field of research and theory, it looks at current developments in television and radio broadcasting on the level of regulation and policy, industries and economics, production and content, and audience and consumption practices.
