John T. Caldwell's classic, Televisuality, demonstrates the cultural logic of stylistic exhibitionism in everything from prestige series and loss-leader event-status programming (Northern Exposure and War and Remembrance) to lower trash and tabloid forms (Pee-Wee's Playhouse and reality TV) as "import-auteurs" like Oliver Stone and David Lynch were stylized for prime time, and videographics packaged and tamed crisis news coverage. Drawing on production experience and critical and cultural analysis, Televisuality is a powerful call for desegregation of theory and practice in media scholarship and an end to the willful blindness of high theory."--Back cover.
