Family Television: Cultural Power and Domestic LeisureFirst Published in 2006. In this detailed study of television viewing among families from different cultural backgrounds, Morley develops many of the themes of his earlier work on the nationwide audience. This book extends that work into new territory, examining different ways in which television is actually watched within the context of family life. Here television viewing is situated firmly within the politics of the living room and the structure of power relations within the family. |
