Intelligence as Presented on Popular Television
Herausgeber: Holderman, Lisa

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This anthology examines the constructions of intelligence and intellectuality in popular television and the social/cultural implications of those constructions. It considers the complexity of popular television images, the influences of these images as they both verify and vilify intelligence, and explores the representations of intelligence on television by looking at a variety of TV genres and through a range of theoretical perspectives and methods.
