More About the Author
Product Description
John Corner, University of Liverpool
A measured overview, critically astute in drawing comparisons and illuminating in the use it makes of film and television history.
Book Description
Reality television has little to do with reality and everything to do with television form and content. Reality TV: Realism and Revelation takes the reality television phenomenon to be a significant movement within documentary and factual programming. This book analyses new and hybrid genres including observational documentaries, talk shows, game shows, docu-soaps, dramatic reconstructions, law and order programming and 24/7 formats such as Big Brother and Survivor. These programmes are both popular with audiences and heavily debated in the media; they are at the centre of heated discussions about tabloidisation, media ethics, voyeurism and the representation of the real. Through detailed case studies this book breaks new ground by linking together two major themes: the production of realism and its relationship to revelation. It addresses ‘truth telling’, confession and the production of knowledges about the self and its place in the world.
