This new book examines whether television can be used as a tool not just
for capitalism, but for democracy. Throughout television’s history,
activists have attempted to access it for that very reason. New
technologies—cable, satellite, and the internet—provided brief openings
for amateur and activist engagement with television. This book
elaborates on this history by using ethnographic data to build a new
iteration of liberalism, technoliberalism, which sees Silicon Valley
technology and the free market of Hollywood end the need for a politics
of participation.
Three-part interview with Henry Jenkins, Provost Professor of
Communication, Journalism and Cinematic Arts at the University of
Southern California, about Technoliberalism and the End of Participatory
Culture.

Review:
“Adam Fish's ambitious book is at once empirically and theoretically
incisive; it charts the rise and fall of 'technoliberalism' as it
confronts generation after generation of hopeful new media and their
relentless incorporation within capital. It is an essential and
creative clarification of the tangle of contemporary technologies,
political theories of freedom and equality, and the desires involved in
making and consuming media.” (Christopher Kelty, University of
California, Los Angeles, USA)

activists.
