Opis

Satiric TV in the Americas is the first book to focus on Latin American TV satire in order to understand their critical role in challenging the status quo, traditional journalism, and the prevalent local media culture. It introduces the notion of "critical metatainment" as negotiated dissent, a key concept for the study of postmodern satire.

Recenzje

Paul Alonso adeptly surveys satiric television across Latin America, paying particular attention to the genre's ability to mediate between local contexts and global forms. This smart and comprehensive volume fills what had been a gaping hole in satire scholarship.
