About the Author 256
Television Criticism, Third Edition, by Victoria O’Donnell provides a
foundational approach to the nature of television criticism. Rhetorical
studies, cultural studies, representation, and postmodernism are
introduced for greater understanding and appreciation of the critical
perspectives on television. Illustrated with contemporary examples,
this updated Third Edition includes a new, extensive sample analysis
of The Big Bang Theory and reflects recent changes in the ways
television is viewed across multiple devices and the impact of the
Internet on television.
New to the Third Edition
* References to new technologies enhance television criticism
by showing how technology affects how we watch television,
opens opportunities for interactivity, and moderates the ways
in which advertising and ratings are used.
■ New information about rhetoric, cultural theory,
representation, and postmodernism are presented to give the
reader a better understanding of different approaches.
Updated pedagogy with current examples, exercises, new
photos from contemporary television programming, and
updated references and glossary enables readers to facilitate
content application.
■ A new sample critique of The Big Bang Theory provides
students with a detailed illustration of how critical guidelines
are used to develop a critique of a complex television program. |
