Television Histories in Asia
This book presents an analysis of television histories across India, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Malaysia and Bhutan. It offers a set of standard data on the history of televisions cultural, industrial and political structures in each specific national context, allowing for cross-regional comparative analysis. Each chapter presents a case study on a salient aspect of the contemporary television culture of the nation in question, such as analyses of ideology in television content in Japan and Singapore, and transformations of industry structure vis--vis state versus market control in China and Taiwan. The book provides a comprehensive overview of television histories in Asia as well as a survey of current issues and concerns in Asian television cultures and their social and political impact.
