On Television: Articles and Essays 1956–2015
19.99 €
Umberto Eco (1932-2016) was the most famous Italian writer of our time, author of the world bestsellers The Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum, cultural historian, semiotician, linguist, winner of major prizes, whose books have been translated into forty languages.
"On Television" is a comprehensive collection of articles and essays published in periodicals and books between 1956 and 2015, dealing with television - its sign system and aesthetics, its forms of communication and the technologies it uses, its "strategies of persuasion" and the ways in which it can be critically defended against them. Tracing the path of television from the first live broadcasts in the 1950s to the reality shows of the 2010s, the author reflects on its role in shaping the cultural and social environment, on what it could be if it turned its powerful energy to serving society.
