From the often-named 'founding father' of TV studies, this is the much-anticipated third edition of a text, first published in 1974, that has become known as the founding text for television studies. In this new age of reality TV, this book remains remarkably prescient.
作者简介 Raymond Williams (1921-1988). British cultural thinker and sociologist Raymond Williams is best known for pioneering the study of popular culture and the media, as well as for being one of the founding fathers of the British cultural studies group.

-John Hartley, Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies, University of Queensland


'Television: Technology and Cultural Form is a powerful and original book which marked the beginning of a new breed of British accounts of television.

It was the first classic of TV studies.' - Toby Miller, New York University
