It explores the television that has thrived in the Canadian regulatory and cultural context: namely, programs that straddle the border between reality and fiction or even blur it. The conceptual basis of this collection is the hybrid nature of television fare: the widely theorized notion that all mediations of reality involve fiction in the form of narrative or symbolic shaping. Each of the contributions here is a reminder, too, of the significant relationship of television to nation building in Canada-to the imaginative work involved in thinking through the relations that constitute nations, citizens, and communities. The collection focuses on English-language Canadian television because the imperatives guiding its texts are markedly different from those pertaining to their French-lanugage counterparts. The collection, therefore, develops a nuance of perspective on the cultural and political economic specificities that inform the imaginative work of television production for English Canada. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wilfrid Laurier University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45848483299479,"sku":"9781554580101","price":4492.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781554580101.webp?v=1767466284","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/programming-reality-perspectives-on-english-canadian-television-9781554580101","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
