The book focusses specifically on the representational politics of contemporary middlebrow TV. \u003cbr\u003eThe book analyses action TV reboots via the framework of middlebrow television, and the political meanings of the category. It explores the category of middlebrow TV, the role of nostalgia of middlebrow reboots. This leads into a critique of the representational norms of middlebrow TV, which includes a variety of visual representations of 'otherness' but fails to narrativize marginalisation. Instead, visual 'difference' is reduced to visual signifier of an inclusive society. What emerges is the idea of visibility politics and its dominance in American network TV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mareike Jenner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399512919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399512916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Mareike Jenner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48460244844799,"sku":"9781399512916","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dcc479d6-81d6-43c8-9a70-0dfa8233c4a2.jpg?v=1777413489","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/action-tv-reboots-and-visibility-mareike-jenner-9781399512916","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
