Bøker av Ellen Seiter

Why is talk about television forbidden at some schools? Why does a mother feel guilty about watching Star Trek in front of her four-year-old child? Why would retired men turn to daytime soap operas for entertainment? Through case studies, Ellen Seiter explains what audience research tells us about gender, class, and the significance of television and computers at home and in the workplace.

"In this thought-provoking study, Seiter reasonably urges parents and others to put aside their own tastes and to understand that children's consumer culture promotes solidarity and sociability among youngsters." - Publishers Weekly
