From Telenovelas to Netflix: Transnational, Transverse Television in Latin America (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is about television in Latin America. Its national and regional industries create most television programming there within genres developed over time in the region. However, part of the programming has always come from the U.S., Europe and elsewhere. With cable, satellite and now streaming TV, that inflow of foreign programming has increased substantially. While many in the audience still prefer national or regional programs for their cultural proximity, an increasing number among the upper-middle and middle classes, particularly the young, are turning to the new foreign services, like Netflix, Amazon and Disney for class distinction, cosmopolitanism or other motives. Among the television industries global regional and national actors are creating a variety of programs and channels (broadcast, pay-TV and streaming) to segment and appeal to different parts of the audience.

Rezensionen

"Both From Telenovelas to Netflix and Latino TV provide a history and genealogy of their chosen subjects, albeit through completely different methodologies. Through these markedly different approaches, each book successfully tackles a wide range of material and achieves the goals set. While one text may be more accessible to a wider audience than the other, both books make an important contribution to the fields of Television Studies, Latino studies, and Latin American studies." (Alexandra James Salichs, Critical Studies in Television, Vol. 18 (2), 2023)
