[Commlist] New Book: Slow TV: An Analysis of Minute-by-Minute Television in Norway, by Roel Puijk

Intellect is pleased to announce that /*Slow TV: An Analysis of Minute-by-Minute Television in Norway <https://www.intellectbooks.com/slow-tv>*//*, <https://www.intellectbooks.com/slow-tv>*/ by Roel Puijk, is available in ebook and paperback.

The concept of slow TV and ‘minute-by-minute’ broadcasting was developed so that the event on television lasts as long as in real time, and has become a familiar feature of broadcasting in Norway. Several broadcasters outside Norway, including BBC Four, YLE, SRF and Netflix, have now taken up the concept of slow TV.

The first study of this genre, this highly original book, by Roel Puijk, explores three different aspects of the phenomenon of slow TV: the perspective of the broadcaster, the perspective of the producers and other actors involved in the production of the programme, and that of the audience. Illustrated throughout in full colour, using stills from broadcast programmes. This book will appeal primarily to an academic readership, both researchers and students. Most readers are likely to be involved with media and communication studies, cultural studies and film studies. It will also be of interest more generally to the humanities and social sciences fields as it touches on topics such as national and local identity, popular culture, Nordic lifestyle, well-being, tradition, community and popular culture.
