This book addresses this question by examining the characteristics, contexts, and breadth of reality TV through a history of its programming trends. Paying attention to stylistic connections as well as key concepts, this study breaks reality television down into three main "generations": the camcorder generation, the competition generation and the celebrity generation. Beginning with a consideration of the applicability of the term "genre" for this televisual hybrid, the book takes a transnational approach to investigating the forms and formats of reality TV framed by relevant popular and critical discourses.    ORDER THE BOOK  $28.00 $22.40 (with the discount code CUP20)   paper   208 pages American Smart Cinema     Claire Perkins       Order Your Copy Now and Save 20%!

Tracing the emergence of smart cinema amidst the texts and debates of the 1990s 'irony epidemic', the book describes the unstable tone and 'double' speech of such films as: The Royal Tenenbaums, Adaptation, The Squid and the Whale, Palindromes, The Last Days of Disco, Flirt, Ghost World, Your Friends and Neighbors, Donnie Darko, and The Savages.      Traditions in World Cinema    ORDER THE BOOK $105.00 $84.00 (with the discount code CUP20)  cloth 256 pages          Media and Memory      Joanne Garde-Hansen        Order Your Copy Now and Save 20%!

In exploring the complex ways that media converge to support our desire to capture, store and retrieve memories, Garde-Hansen offers analyses of representations of memorable events, media tools for remembering and forgetting, media technologies for archiving and the role of media producers in making memories. Theories of memory and media are covered alongside an accessible range of case studies focusing on memory in relation to radio, television, pop music, celebrity, digital media and mobile phones. Ethnographic and production culture research, including interviews with members of the public and industry professionals, is also included.     Media Topics    ORDER THE BOOK $28.00 $22.40 (with the discount code CUP20)  paper  176 pages       For more titles in:  Film   Media Studies     FOLLOW COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PRESS:
