From a variety of theoretical perspectives, contributors discuss the concept of the family as defined in many cultures -- including the UK, North and South America, Europe, South Asia, and the Far East. They go on to consider the basic features of television in each area, review major themes in its literature, and provide an original, qualitative empirical study of the relationship between family life and its specific culture. The resulting set of penetrating ethnographic accounts of family life with television comprises an essential integration of the topical concerns of cultural theory and the empirical demands of social science. It is an important volume for students and professionals in the fields of communication and mass media. |
