作者简介

本书对戏剧、电影、广播和电视等各种类型美国娱乐业的受众进行了全面深刻的考察和分析。对我国当前文化产业的从业人员和文化研究者具有极强的启发意义。理查德·布茨在书中为我们提供了全面的历史和精良的分析，他用优秀的传统精巧打造了这部勘查史。



本书目的旨在提供一个受众的历史，尤其是通过比较年代较早的争鸣状况来揭示20世纪争鸣状况的历史。民众或学者对受众的讨论长期以来缺乏一个历史的语境。例如，对看电视的关注很难上溯到对听广播或看电影的思考，更不用说联系到流行于19世纪的娱乐方式，如：情节剧、乌脸戏、汇艺秀等。而作为当今论争核心的那些议题曾经被翻来覆去地倒腾过，有时名目相同，有时花样翻新。作者希望本书能为有关中国和亚洲娱乐观众的研究以及比较研究提供借鉴。
