Mapping Hegemony: Television News and Industrial Conflict

9780893918194. New condition. Trade paperback. Language: English. Pages: 274. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 274 p. This volume brings critical theory to bear on a familiar feature of our daily lives- the evening news on television- in order to clarify what it means to talk about hegemony. This book's approach makes accesible to a wider audience another way of seeing an otherwise taken-for-granted dimension of daily life and political culture. By empirically and theoretically reading a text taken from the evening news students can inspect, in a language familiar to them, what issues of ideology and legitimation are about.
