Television and the moral imaginarysociety through the small screen /[electronic resource] :by Tim Dant. - Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire ;Palgrave Macmillan,2012. - p.cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction b6 s the Small Screen and Morality -- Morality on Television -- Sociology and the Moral Order -- Televisuality: Style and the Small Screen -- The Phenomenology of Television -- Society and the Small Screen -- Mediating Morality -- Television and the Imaginary -- Conclusion -- Endnotes -- References -- Index.

Is television a good thing? Yes! It is a key way that people keep up with the changes in the moral culture of modern societies. Not just the tricky ethical issues but the mundane mores which make social life possible. This book uses examples from television programmes b6 s many that you will know and love b6 s to argue that however 'bad' they might be, they show possible ways of living and behaving that audiences can reflect on. By thinking about television through the lens of phenomenology, what we see on the small screen shows us not simply how we should act, but gives us a wide range of possible ways of acting. It shows us what the consequences might be and leaves it up to us what we take from it. The flow of dynamic imagery provides a shared stock of ideas, a 'moral imaginary', that can help to sustain a society that has long outgrown the nation state.
