Some Sense of Time. Remembering Television (original) (raw)

The paper explores the relationship between television and memory, proposing models beyond the common destructive and integrative views. It presents findings from a study conducted in France, highlighting how television is embedded in everyday life and familial contexts, thus shaping collective and personal memories differently than previously posited, especially in European contexts. The research suggests that television serves as a domestic medium that connects viewers to a national public space, contrasting with the more disruptive depictions prevalent in American television studies.
