"Since the 1940s, an impressive variety of critical approaches to the media and television have developed. In this chapter, I will first present the Frankfurt School as an inaugurator of critical approaches to television studies and will then consider how a wide range of theorists addressed what later became known as the politics of representation in critical television studies, engaging problematics of class, gender, race, sexuality, and other central components of media representation and social life"-- Provided by publisher.
