Yet Williams' analysis of television's history, its institutions, programmes and practices, and its future prospects, remains remarkably prescient. Williams stresses the importance of technology in shaping the cultural form of television, while always resisting the determinism of McLuhan's dictum that 'the medium is the message'. If the medium really is the message, Williams asks, what is left for us to do or say? Williams argues that, on the contrary, we as viewers have the power to disturb, disrupt and to distract the otherwise cold logic of history and technology - not just because television is part of the fabric of our daily lives, but because new technologies continue to offer opportunities, momentarily outside the sway of transnational corporations or the grasp of media moguls, for new forms of self and political expression.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 129mmItem Weight: 219gAuthor: Raymond WilliamsGenre: Society & CultureBook Series: Routledge ClassicsRelease Year: 2003 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
