POST-TV: PIRACY, CORD-CUTTING AND THE FUTURE OF TELEVISION, MICHAEL STRANGELOVE (2015)

摘要

Michael Strangelove's latest book builds on his previous work, in particular The Empire of Mind: Digital Piracy and the Anti-Capitalist Movement (2005), in which he explored the subversive potential of cultural production in the Internet age, such as digital piracy, culture jamming and grass-roots online journalism, to challenge through the creation of new meanings the dominant symbolic economy and belief system of capitalism, and Watching YouTube: Extraordinary Videos by Ordinary People (2010), which focused on everyday amateur videography and sharing practices. The main topics of both these books (digital piracy and the emerging and rising role of the audience as mass participants in video-making) feature in Post-TV as forces that shape the post-TV environment.
