{"product_id":"columbo-lilian-mathieu-9789004512429","title":"Columbo: Class Struggle on TV Tonight","description":"After a 35 year-long career on worldwide TV screens, Lieutenant Columbo has become one of the most famous fictional detectives. Lilian Mathieu shows that the \u003ci\u003eColumbo\u003c\/i\u003e series owes its success to its implicit but formidable political dimension, as each episode is structured as a class struggle between a rich, famous, cultured or powerful criminal and an apparently humble and blunderer police officer dressed in a crumpled raincoat and driving an antique car. Highlighting the contentious context that gave birth to the series in 1968, he shows that the sociology of culture offers intellectual tools to understand how a TV detective story can be appreciated as a joyful class revenge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lilian Mathieu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 900451242X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004512429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 5.91w x 0.32d","brand":"Lilian Mathieu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988709179647,"sku":"9789004512429","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bfe27cb2-8eec-497e-87fd-e6ae8a4a64c7.jpg?v=1683295947","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/columbo-lilian-mathieu-9789004512429","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
