A study of the transformation of television in Spain following the end of Franco's dictatorship, Maxwell's book examines the politics of the privatization of television, the rise of regional television, and the transnational realignment of national media space. |
| Synopsis: |
The media, a monolith, paves the way from dictatorship to democracy - or so it seems in our world of increased global communications. Richard Maxwell's study of television in Spain overturns this notion. Instead, he shows us, such transitions themselves have a profound impact on the media, with regional television often negotiating concepts of communalism, nationalism, and identity very differently than national television. Drawing on a decade of research into Spanish culture, mass media, and broadcast policy, Maxwell develops a sophisticated analysis of the many variables undergirding communications policy within the nation-state. Though focused on Spain, his work provides general insight into the nature of communication policy debates in today's economic arena. A study of the transformation of television in Spain following the end of Franco's dictatorship, Maxwell's book examines the politics of the privatization of television, the rise of regional television, and the transnational realignment of national media space. |
