TV Cops: The Contemporary American Television Police Drama
by Jonathan Nichols-PethickThe police drama has been one of the longest running and most popular genres in American television. In TV Cops, Jonathan Nichols-Pethick argues that, perhaps more than any other genre, the police series in all its manifestations—from Hill Street Blues to Miami Vice to The Wire—embodies the full range of the cultural dynamics of television. Exploring the textual, industrial, and social contexts of police shows on American television, this book demonstrates how polices drama play a vital role in the way we understand and engage issues of social order that most of us otherwise experience only in such abstractions as laws and crime statistics. And given the current diffusion and popularity of the form, we might ask a number of questions that deserve serious critical attention: Under what circumstances have stories about the police proliferated in popular culture? What function do these stories serve for both the television industry and its audiences? Why have these stories become so commercially viable for the television industry in particular? How do stories about the police help us understand current social and political debates about crime, about the communities we live in, and about our identities as citizens?
TV Family Values: Gender, Domestic Labor, and 1980s Sitcoms
by Alice LeppertDuring the 1980s, U.S. television experienced a reinvigoration of the family sitcom genre. In TV Family Values, Alice Leppert focuses on the impact the decade's television shows had on middle class family structure. These sitcoms sought to appeal to upwardly mobile “career women” and were often structured around non-nuclear families and the reorganization of housework. Drawing on Foucauldian and feminist theories, Leppert examines the nature of sitcoms such as Full House, Family Ties, Growing Pains, The Cosby Show, and Who's the Boss? against the backdrop of a time period generally remembered as socially conservative and obsessed with traditional family values.
TV Living: Television, Culture and Everyday Life
by David Gauntlett Annette HillTV Living presents the findings of the BFI Audience Tracking Study in which 500 participants completed detailed questionnaire-diaries on their lives, their television watching, and the relationship between the two over a five year period.Gauntlett and Hill use this extensive data to explore some of the most fundamental questions in media and cultural studies, focusing on issues of gender, identity, the impact of new technologies, and life changes. Opening up new areas of debate, the study sheds new light on audiences and their responses to issues such as sex and violence on television. A unique study of contemporary tv audience behaviour and attitudes, TV Living offers a fascinating insight into the complex relationship between mass media and people's lives today.
TV Shows and Nonplace: Why The Sopranos, Breaking Bad and Co. Love the Periphery (Routledge Focus on Television Studies)
by Alexander GutzmerThis book scrutinizes the relationship between contemporary TV shows and space, focusing on the ways in which these shows use and narrate specific spatial structures, namely, spaces far away from traditional metropolises. Beginning with the observation that many shows are set in specific spatial settings, referred to in the book as “nonplace territories” – e.g., North Jersey, New Mexico, or rural and suburban Western Germany – the author argues that the link between such nonplace territories and shows such as The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, or Dark is so intense because the narrative structure functions similarly to these territories: flat, decentralized, without any sense of structure or stable hierarchy. The book takes three different perspectives: first, it looks at the rationale for combining TV shows and nonplace territories from the viewpoint of narrative strategy. It then thinks through what these strategies mean for practicing architects. Finally, it approaches the arguments made before from a “user” perspective: what does this narrative mirroring of social-spatial reality in places such as Albuquerque or Jersey City mean for people living in these places? This new approach to architecture and space on screen will interest scholars and students of television studies, screen architecture, media and architectural theory, and popular culture.
TV or Not TV: Television, Justice, and the Courts
by Ronald L. GoldfarbIn the last quarter century, televised court proceedings have gone from an outlandish idea to a seemingly inevitable reality. Yet,debate continues to rage over the dangers and benefits to the justice system of cameras in the courtroom. Critics contend television transforms the temple of justice into crass theatre. Supporters maintain that silent cameras portray "the real thing," that without them judicial reality is inevitably filtered through the mind and pens of a finite pool of reporters. Television in a courtroom is clearly a two-edged sword, both invasive and informative. Bringing a trial to the widest possible audience creates pressures and temptations for all participants. While it reduces speculations and fears about what transpired, television sometimes forces the general public, which possesses information the jury may not have, into a conflicting assessment of specific cases and the justice system in general. TV or Not TV argues convincingly that society gains much more than it loses when trials are open to public scrutiny and discussion.

TWA 800: The Crash, the Cover-Up, and the Conspiracy
by Jack CashillTWA Flight 800 crashed into the Atlantic shortly after takeoff from JFK airport on July 17, 1996, killing all 230 passengers on board. Although initial reports suggested a terrorist attack, FBI and NTSB investigators blamed a fuel tank explosion. But skeptics have long questioned the official story, and new evidence has surfaced that suggests a widespread conspiracy... <P><P>In TWA 800, historian Jack Cashill introduces new documents and testimonies that reveal the shocking true chain of events: from the disastrous crash to the high-level decision to create a cover story and the attempts to silence anyone who dared speak the truth.

Tabernacles of Clay: Sexuality and Gender in Modern Mormonism
by Taylor G. PetreyTaylor G. Petrey's trenchant history takes a landmark step forward in documenting and theorizing about Latter-day Saints (LDS) teachings on gender, sexual difference, and marriage. Drawing on deep archival research, Petrey situates LDS doctrines in gender theory and American religious history since World War II. His challenging conclusion is that Mormonism is conflicted between ontologies of gender essentialism and gender fluidity, illustrating a broader tension in the history of sexuality in modernity itself.As Petrey details, LDS leaders have embraced the idea of fixed identities representing a natural and divine order, but their teachings also acknowledge that sexual difference is persistently contingent and unstable. While queer theorists have built an ethics and politics based on celebrating such sexual fluidity, LDS leaders view it as a source of anxiety and a tool for the shaping of a heterosexual social order. Through public preaching and teaching, the deployment of psychological approaches to "cure" homosexuality, and political activism against equal rights for women and same-sex marriage, Mormon leaders hoped to manage sexuality and faith for those who have strayed from heteronormativity.
Table Lands: Food in Children's Literature (Children's Literature Association Series)
by Kara K. Keeling Scott T. PollardFood is a signifier of power for both adults and children, a sign of both inclusion and exclusion and of conformity and resistance. Many academic disciplines—from sociology to literary studies—have studied food and its function as a complex social discourse, and the wide variety of approaches to the topic provides multidisciplinary frames for understanding the construction and uses of food in all types of media, including children’s literature. Table Lands: Food in Children’s Literature is a survey of food’s function in children’s texts, showing how the sociocultural contexts of food reveal children’s agency. Authors Kara K. Keeling and Scott T. Pollard examine texts that vary from historical to contemporary, noncanonical to classics, and Anglo-American to multicultural traditions, including a variety of genres, formats, and audiences: realism, fantasy, cookbooks, picture books, chapter books, YA novels, and film. Table Lands offers a unified approach to studying food in a wide variety of texts for children. Spanning nearly 150 years of children’s literature, Keeling and Pollard’s analysis covers a selection of texts that show the omnipresence of food in children’s literature and culture and how they vary in representations of race, region, and class, due to the impact of these issues on food. Furthermore, they include not only classic children’s books, such as Winnie-the-Pooh, but recent award-winning multicultural novels as well as cookbooks and even one film, Pixar’s Ratatouille.
Table Talk: Building Democracy One Meal at a Time
by Janet A. FlammangEtiquette books insist that we never discuss politics during a meal. In Table Talk , Janet A. Flammang offers a polite rebuttal, presenting vivid firsthand accounts of people's lives at the table to show how mealtimes can teach us the conversational give-and-take foundational to democracy. Delving into the ground rules about listening, sharing, and respect that we obey when we break bread, Flammang shows how conversations and table activities represent occasions for developing our civil selves. If there are cultural differences over practices--who should speak, what behavior is acceptable, what topics are off limits, how to resolve conflict--our exposure to the making, enforcement, and breaking of these rules offers a daily dose of political awareness and growth. Political table talk provides a forum to practice the conversational skills upon which civil society depends. It also ignites the feelings of respect, trust, and empathy that undergird the idea of a common good that is fundamental to the democratic process.
Tableau d'avancement II: Essais exploratoires sur la gouvernance d'un certain Canada français
by Gilles PaquetCe Tableau d'avancement II fait suite à un premier volume (Tableau d'avancement I publié en 2008) qui examinait rétrospectivement l'enlisement de certains chefs politiques, de certains intellectuels influents, et de certaines institutions du Canada français au cours de la dernière moitié du 20e siècle. Tableau d'avancement II prend plutôt un regard prospectif sur la gouvernance du Canada français : pour exposer les cosmologies dominantes qui distordent nos manières de voir, pour illustrer comment des outillages inédits sont nécessaires dans des dossiers précis, pour supputer sur quoi la dérive de la société québécoise pourrait déboucher quand on s'interroge sur son avenir 50 ans après la Révolution tranquille, et pour s'attaquer aux problèmes himalayens de l'innovation, de l'incertitude et de la collaboration auxquels la gouvernance du Canada français va devoir faire face au 21e siècle.
Tableau d'avancement III: Pour une diaspora canadienne-française antifragile
by Gilles PaquetCet ouvrage est le troisième volet d’une trilogie sur le Canada français. Dans un premier volet, j’ai jeté un coup d’œil rétrospectif sur la période avant la Révolution tranquille; dans le second, j’ai décrit le monde qui a émergé autour de la Révolution tranquille. Ce troisième volet invite le lecteur à se mobiliser pour aider à construire une diaspora canadienne-française antifragile. Délibérément indéterministe, cet ouvrage invite à mettre en place un système d’enquête pour développer des formes de gouverne inédites mieux ajustées à la réalité diasporique et évolutionnaire du Canada français, et davantage focalisées sur la poursuite d’objectifs de vitalité communautaire plutôt que sur un repli vers l’autoconservation linguistique. La première partie de l’ouvrage passe en revue l’outillage mental nécessaire pour construire la sorte de gouvernance baroque dont le Canada français, comme bien des entités post-modernes, a besoin : une gouvernance eunomique – c’est-à-dire qui convient – et antifragile – c’est-à-dire qui accroît sa robustesse à proportion qu’elle est soumise à des pressions accrues. La seconde partie de l’ouvrage fait un peu de rétroprospective – comme dirait Jacques Lesourne. Elle cherche à comprendre comment les divers acteurs et porteurs de projets au Canada français ont interagi dans le passé récent au plan socio-économique, impolitique et civique, comment ils ont engendré des pathologies de gouvernance, et comment ils nous ont révélé un peu de leur âme au fil des circonstances – tout cela pour aider à circonscrire les scénarios plausibles. La troisième partie met en garde contre certaines forces obscures qui promettent de ralentir le processus d’apprentissage collectif sur lequel le système d’enquête que je propose doit aboutir : parlementeries, technocratie, idole de l’adjudication, désinformation et corruption – autant de forces que le citoyen en tant que producteur de gouvernance va devoir neutraliser autant que possible. La conclusion propose une feuille de route vers une diaspora canadienne-française qui voudrait continuer à progresser, à se transformer de manière créatrice et fructueuse, tout en préservant une identité migrante.
Tableau d'avancement IV: Un Canada français à ré-inventer
by Gilles PaquetCet ouvrage est le dernier volet d'une tétralogie sur le Canada français qui, dans un premier temps, a jeté un coup d'œil sur l'après-seconde guerre mondiale, puis, dans un second temps, sur la période autour de la « Révolution tranquille ». Le troisième tome a fait un relevé de divers aspects du Canada français dont on devra tenir compte si on veut développer un avenir pour la diaspora canadienne-française. Voilà qui préparait à aborder de front, dans le tome IV, le défi de réinventer le Canada français en tant que diaspora canadienne française antifragile. Au cinquantième anniversaire de la rupture de 1967 qui avait marqué une césure entre le Québec et le reste du Canada français dans la grande unité du Canada français, l'objectif de ce travail est clair : débroussailler et bien faire comprendre sur quelles réalités on pourrait réinventer le Canada français à partir de Nouveaux États Généraux. La première portion de l'ouvrage fait l'inventaire des grands paramètres (y compris le bijuridisme) avec lesquels il faudra composer dans cette aventure. La première partie de l'ouvrage passe en revue le terrain des opérations en portant une attention particulière aux mythes et fausses représentations qui ont toujours cours, ainsi qu'aux difficultés d'apprentissage aigües qui sont susceptibles de créer des blocages aux projets de renaissance du Canada français qu'on pourrait envisager. La seconde partie propose d'autres éléments incontournables dans tout projet de ré-imagination d'un Canada français modernisé parce qu'il devra passer par des paris sur la gouvernance culturelle et la polyphonie. En conclusion on propose un plan d'attaque qui pourrait bien réussir à moderniser la diaspora canadienne-française, et même à relustrer le vocable 'Canada français' et à lui redonner ses extraordinaires lettres de noblesse, si seulement on voulait s'en donner un peu la peine.
Tabletop RPG Design in Theory and Practice at the Forge, 2001–2012: Designs and Discussions (Palgrave Games in Context)
by William J. WhiteThis book provides an introduction to the Forge, an online discussion site for tabletop role-playing game (TRPG) design, play, and publication that was active during the first years of the twenty-first century and which served as an important locus for experimentation in game design and production during that time. Aimed at game studies scholars, for whom the ideas formulated at or popularized by the Forge are of key interest, the book also attempts to provide an accessible account of the growth and development of the Forge as a site of participatory culture. It situates the Forge within the broader context of TRPG discourse, and connects “Forge theory” to the academic investigation of role-playing.
Tabletop Role-Playing Games and the Experience of Imagined Worlds (Palgrave Games in Context)
by Nicholas J. MizerIn 1974, the release of Dungeons & Dragons forever changed the way that we experience imagined worlds. No longer limited to simply reading books or watching movies, gamers came together to collaboratively and interactively build and explore new realms. Based on four years of interviews and game recordings from locations spanning the United States, this book offers a journey that explores how role-playing games use a combination of free-form imagination and tightly constrained rules to experience those realms. By developing our understanding of the fantastic worlds of role-playing games, this book also offers insight into how humans come together and collaboratively imagine the world around us.
Tablets Shattered: The End of an American Jewish Century and the Future of Jewish Life
by Joshua LeiferFrom esteemed journalist Joshua Leifer, a definitive look at the history and future of American Jewish identity and community from the tipping point we are living in. Tablets Shattered is Joshua Leifer&’s lively and personal history of the fractured American Jewish present. Formed in the middle decades of the twentieth century, the settled-upon pillars of American Jewish self-definition (Americanism, Zionism, and liberalism) have begun to collapse. The binding trauma of Holocaust memory grows ever-more attenuated; soon there will be no living survivors. After two millennia of Jewish life defined by diasporic existence, the majority of the world&’s Jews will live in a sovereign Jewish state by 2050. Against the backdrop of national political crises, resurgent global antisemitism, and the horrors of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, Leifer provides an illuminating and meticulously reported map of contemporary Jewish life and a sober conjecture about its future. Leifer begins with the history of Jewish immigrants in America, starting with the arrival of his great-grandmother Bessie from a shtetl in Belarus and following each subsequent generation as it conformed to the prevailing codes of American Jewish life. He then reports on the state of today&’s burning Jewish issues. We meet millennial Jewish racial justice organizers, Orthodox political activists, young liberal rabbis looking to &“queer&” the Torah through exegesis, Haredi men learning full-time at the world&’s largest yeshiva, progressive anti-Zionists attempting to separate Judaism from nationalism, and right-wing Israeli public intellectuals beginning to imagine a future without American Jews. As it traverses today&’s Jewish landscape through uncommon personal familiarity with the widest range of Jewish experience, Tablets Shattered also charts the universal quest to build enduring communities amid historical and political rupture.
Tabloid Journalism and Press Freedom in Africa
by Brian ChamaThis book studies tabloid journalism newspapers within the broader context of press freedom in Africa. After defining tabloid journalism and professional practices within various political contexts, the book then proceeds to consider tabloids in Southern Africa and emerging cyberspace laws. Many factors of press freedom are considered, including the impact of public order and national security laws on tabloids in North Africa, the impact of defamation laws on tabloids in West Africa, the impact of the fake news laws on tabloids in East Africa, and the impact of sedition and treason laws on tabloids in Central Africa. Exploring tabloid journalism and press freedom in Arabic, Portuguese, and Francophone speaking countries across Africa, this book is a unique addition to this emerging field. The book concludes by providing a synthesis of the developing patterns from the cases analysed and by looking to the future to make recommendations and map the challenges and the successes.

Tabloid Television: Popular Journalism and the 'Other News' (Communication and Society)
by John LangerFires, floods, accidents, celebrity lifestyles, heroic acts of humble people, cute acts by family pets and the weather. Television's non-news about non-events takes up an increasingly large part of contemporary broadcast journalism, but is regularly dismissed by television pundits as having no place on our screens. To its critics, this 'other news' distracts our attention with trivialities and entertainment values, and undermines journalism's relationship with the workings of democracy. Yet, in spite of these protests, this 'lite news' remains as entrenched and as popular as ever.InTabloid Television, John Langer argues that television's 'other news' must be recognised as equally important as 'hard news' in the building of a genuinely comprehensive study of broadcast journalism. Using narrative analysis, theories of ideology, concepts from genre studies and detailed textual readings, 'other news' is explored as a cultural discourse connected with story-telling, gossip, social memory, the horror film, national identity and the cult of fame. Langer's study also examines the political role played by an allegedly non-political news and explores the links between this type of news and recent broadcasting trends towards 'reality television'.Tabloid Television, Popular Journalism and the 'Other News' provides an eclectic and intriguing look at one of the most maligned areas of television news. By offering an extended and thoroughly grounded analysis of actual news stories, John Langer locates the question of representational power as one of the central concerns of the media studies agenda and offers some interesting speculation about where television news may be heading.
Tabloiding the Truth: It's the Pun Wot Won It
by Steve BuckledeeWhat skills do journalists exhibit in sensationalising, exaggerating and otherwise ‘tabloiding’ the truth, while usually stopping short of stating unambiguous falsehoods? Why has the tabloid news not collapsed as predicted, but thrived as a medium in an age of interaction and online commentary? This book is a comprehensive and accessible exploration of the British tabloid newspapers from the 1960s to the present day. Examining topics such as sex and the representation of women, national stereotypes and Britain’s relationship with Europe, war coverage, celebrities, investigative journalism and instances where the tabloids have misread the public mood, the author draws on Critical Discourse Analysis and Stylistics to take a language-led approach to the UK tabloids. With its interdisciplinary approach and readable prose style, this book will be of interest to a wide range of readers across language and linguistics, media and communication, journalism, political science and British cultural studies.
