Free Download Christopher Chávez, "Reinventing the Latino Television Viewer: Language, Ideology, and Practice"
English | ISBN: 1498506631 | 2015 | 180 pages | EPUB | 604 KB
Reinventing the Latino Television Viewer: Language, Ideology, and Practice examines how the relationship between language, power, and industry practice is reshaping the very concept of Hispanic television. Chávez argues that as established mainstream networks enter the Hispanic television space, they are redefining the Latino audience in ways that more closely resemble the mainstream population, leading to auspicious forms of erasure that challenge the legitimacy of Spanish altogether. This book presents the integration of English into the Hispanic television space not as an entirely new phenomenon, but rather as an extension of two ongoing practices within the television industry-the exploitation of consumer markets and the suppression of Latino forms of speech.

Free Download Donnetrice Allison, "Black Women’s Portrayals on Reality Television: The New Sapphire"
English | ISBN: 1498519326 | 2016 | 292 pages | EPUB | 628 KB
This book critically analyzes the portrayals of Black women in current reality television. Audiences are presented with a multitude of images of Black women fighting, arguing, and cursing at one another in this manufactured world of reality television. This perpetuation of negative, insidious racial and gender stereotypes influences how the U.S. views Black women. This stereotyping disrupts the process in which people are able to appreciate cultural and gender difference. Instead of celebrating the diverse symbols and meaning making that accompanies Black women’s discourse and identities, reality television scripts an artificial or plastic image of Black women that reinforces extant stereotypes. This collection’s contributors seek to uncover examples in reality television shows where instantiations of Black women’s gendered, racial, and cultural difference is signified and made sinister.

Watching While Black Rebooted: The Television and Digitality of Black Audiences examines what watching while Black means in an expanded U.S. televisual landscape.

Contributors traverse programs and platforms to wrestle with a changing television industry that has exploded and included Black audiences as a new and central target of its visioning. The book illuminates history, care, monetization, and affect. Within these frames, the chapters run the gamut from transmediation, regional relevance, and superhuman visioning to historical traumas and progress, queer possibilities, and how televisual programming can make viewers feel Black. Mostly, the work tackles what the future looks like now for a changing televisual industry, Black media makers, and Black audiences.
