Does it still make sense nowadays to reflect on the television phenomenon?
This is just one of the questions that Abílio Almeida intends to answer with this essay.
Exploring the intricate intersection between television and contemporary society, the author analyzes how television media influences and is influenced by social, economic and religious phenomena, and its future potential in the constantly evolving digital age.
Inspired by the reflection of theorist Dominique Wolton, author of the book’s afterword, on the multifaceted nature of television as an agent of excitement, fascination and disillusionment, this essay proposes a critical theory that transcends the mere analysis of television programming, and invites us to rethink our understanding of television as an instrument of communication and social influence.
