Produktbeschreibung
This lively and ground-breaking collection brings together work on forms of popular television within the authoritarian regimes of Europe after World War Two. Ten chapters based on new and original research examine approaches to programming and individual programmes in Spain, Greece, Czechoslovakia, Romania, the USSR and the GDR at a time when they were governed as dictatorships or one-party states. Rather than foregrounding the political economy of television or its role as an overt tool of state propaganda, the focus is on popular television - everyday programming that ordinary people watched. But what can be considered 'popular' when audience appeal is often secondary to the need for state control? This conundrum is examined in an editorial introduction and through the different approaches that contributors to this volume choose to take in applying the term to the programming they examine. Transnational histories of European television represent an important growth area in recent scholarship, but much of this work has concentrated on Western Europe - where archival access and television scholarship are well-established - with little address to 'the popular' except via a Western perspective. Popular television in authoritarian Europe ranges more widely: drawing on surviving archives, scripts and production records, contemporary publications, YouTube clips, and interviews with producers and performers, its chapters recover examples of television programming history unknown beyond national borders and often preserved largely in the memories of the audiences who lived with them. This is an important book for teaching and scholarship about television, cultural history and Eastern and Southern European studies. With a foreword by John Corner.
