X Abstract

How is it that television has come to play such an important role in ourculture? What, in fact, does it tell us, and how are its messages conveyed?What is it we find so satisfying in the format of television police series, orin quiz or sports programmes, that we enjoy watching them again and again?_Reading Television_ was the book that first pushed the boundaries oftelevision studies beyond the insights offered by cultural studies and textualanalysis, creating a vibrant new field of study. Using the tools andtechniques in this book, it is possible for everyone who has access to atelevision set to produce illuminating analyses not only of the programmesthemselves, but also of the culture which produces them.In this edition, John Hartley reflects on the development of televisionstudies since the publication of this enormously influential book, and updatedsuggestions. His fascinating foreword both underlines and ensures thecontinuing relevance of this foundational text, which provides the ideal entryinto an area of study crucial for anyone interested in contemporary culture.
