Conclusion Bibliography Index This work explores how American programmes have become an important part of British television culture since the 1950''s, moving from schedule fillers to cornerstones and ''must see'' attractions.

The book analyses popular and industrial discourses, the changing roles of such programmes on British screens and interviews with key British broadcasters. 1 Topicality: American programming now dominates UK television, both terrestrial, cable and satellite providers - this is a serious analysis of whether the result is cultural interaction or assimilation 2 Includes new analyses of British television programming and television criticism 3 Includes firsthand interviews with British broadcasters 4 Media Studies departments have strong research interests in television and globalization '' American Television on British Screens offers a breadth of points of investigation, highlighting the many processes involved that shape the meanings of US imports in Britain. It provides valuable overviews of the existing literature and good points of departure to investigate, in more detail, how American programmes are incorporated into British television culture.'' - Elke Weissmann, Critical Studies in Television JV 8DCE4F14-B140-4CEE-B966-A8FF4B37BC2F 397700 Hardback 256461 9780333616598 0333616596 Religion in the Soviet Union An Archival Reader Religion Soviet Union:Archiv Reader 28/08/1996 08/28/1996 542 History - Academic F.

David A. Norris examines the emergence and development of the term ''Balkan'' itself, textual representations of the region, and negative imagery from the perspective of Balkan authors and in Western literature. 1 Topical in view of continuing unrest in former Yugoslavia 2 New slant on Balkan crisis through study of films and novels of the region 3 Explores the West''s negative response to the Balkans 4 Discusses Balkan identity and myth of return to primitivism ''Norris is an acute observer of the cultural relationships between the Balkans and the rest of Europe.'' - James Pettifer, International Affairs ''This book is extremely valuable as an insight into the ways in which Western observers conceptualise the Balkans and how such conceptualisations become part of local identities. '' - Helen Kambouri, Millennium ''.

a valuable contribution to the same set of issues, all the more so for reversing widely-held perspectives and shedding light on the Balkan''s ''writing back'' with much original interpretation, careful and convincing analyses and a sensitivity for textual details.''
