Book Description:
<DIV><DIV>Television talk shows have fueled debates about television's faltering role as a medium for social interaction, but this book points out that many viewers don't just absorb the shows; they react to them and even talk back to their televisions. By observing and analyzing the daily viewing habits of a dozen women viewers, Helen Wood interprets these experiences as daily rituals of self reflexivity, focusing on the performance of gender as a doubling of place in contemporary conditions of modernity. Directly challenging the fundamental assumption that new media forms are uniquely interactive, <i>Talking with Television</i> reveals that televisual styles, particularly talk based TV, have always sought to encourage a participatory relationship with viewers at home.</DIV>
