Summary:
Channels of Discourse has become the definitive text on TV studies. The first systematic consideration of commercial television in the light of contemporary culture, literary and cinematic criticism. The essays address the place of semiotics, narrative theory, reception theory, ideological analysis, psychoanalysis, feminist criticism and British cultural studies in the critical analysis of television. The second edition includes two new chapters discussing postmodernism and television theory: Television and Modernism' and Relations of Discourse'. The original essays have been substantially revised and updated in the light of contemporary theory, and refer to recent programmes such as Twin Peaks as well as being illustrated with over 30 TV stills. Together they open up new directions for television studies now and in the future.

Excellent Overview of Media Studies Methodologies
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
In a critical writing course I taught in Spring 2002, I used Channels of Discourse, Reassembled as the core text for the course readings. The many chapters within are written by the best of the best in the fields of media studies and cultural studies, and the methodologies are presented in an easy-to-read manner which is informative and full of examples and case studies. This is an excellent book for media studies students, as its chapters lay out the basic information they should know about many of the methodologies often used in media criticism.
