Críticas:

«Contemporary discussions and debates are increasingly caught up in the growing intertwinement of politics and popular culture. This outstanding collection zeroes in on television, the site where these developments are most visible; it serves up a set of illuminating analyses that will help us move beyond many of the polarized positions on this theme. With clear and accessible theoretical horizons and an array of rich and detailed examples, this volume moves forward our understanding of the complex dynamics between democracy and mediated entertainment in late modern society. With contributions from many leading scholars, the book is destined to become a landmark publication in this area.» (Professor Peter Dahlgren, Lund University, Sweden)

Reseña del editor:

Politicotainment focuses on how political life is interpreted, negotiated, and represented by television entertainment, in particular by drama series, late night comedy, and «reality-based» programs. Real political issues are converging in today's television tableau, prompting questions about performance, interactivity, and engagement. The authors in this collection share the notion that entertainment formats are important sources of political culture, and inform political processes. Politicotainment links theories about the relationship between public and private, fact and fiction, and politics and popular culture to the changes taking place in the television industry, journalism, celebrity activism, and political content in entertainment programming.
