[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.
