Building upon extensive archival research in Britain, Germany, and the United States, Anne-Katrin Weber analyses the sites where the new medium met its first audiences. She argues that public displays offered spaces where television's symbolic, cultural, political, and social definitions were negotiated and eventually stabilized; for the historian, the exhibitions therefore constitute crucial events to understand not only the medium's pre-war emergence, but also its subsequent domestication in the post-war years. Designed as a transnational study, her book highlights the multiple circulations of artefacts and ideas across borders of democratic and totalitarian regimes alike. Richly illustrated with 100 photographs, \u003ci\u003eTelevision before TV\u003c\/i\u003e finally emphasizes that even without regular programmes, interwar television was widely seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne-Katrin Weber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9463727817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789463727815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"Anne-Katrin Weber","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48460027101439,"sku":"9789463727815","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7b24402-32b6-4eaa-ac51-b5479f8f68a3.jpg?v=1777412969","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/television-before-tv-anne-katrin-weber-9789463727815","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
