Topik: Television Fulltext: 508.full.pdf (114.25KB) Isi artikel Television is ubiquitous, complex and elusive. To conceptualize and apply a theoretical framework on television – a commonplace item in most people’s living rooms and kitchens as well as in bars, pubs, restaurants and other public and private places – seems a daunting task. Not only is television flexible and open; it also resists any imposition of fixed, innate and monotonous qualities of empirical experience and ideation. This is, according to Milly Buonanno, because it ‘allows us to switch between looking and listening, between involvement and detachment, and it offers us both demanding and relaxing forms of cultural entertainment and social participation’ (p. 41). Any attempt to explore television as a sociocultural construct, an art form and a technological continuum of prior media, can therefore be provocative and exciting.
