Editorial

Television and cultural studies

Unfinished business

Graeme Turner

University of Queensland, Australia, Graeme.Turner{at}mailbox.uq.edu.au

This introductory article argues that the current state of debate on television within cultural studies is marked by considerable areas of theoretical and political uncertainty. The spread of deregulatory and privatizing public policies in relation to television, and the disarticulation of television from the idea of the national community and from the role of the citizen, have posed new problems for theorizing the relation between television and its audiences. In this article I survey a number of key areas of debate: the relation between television, the nation and the state; television and the citizen/consumer, television content and performance, and the likely future(s) of television.

Key Words: citizen • consumer • cultural studies • media performance • nation • television
