Annotation

This book explores the new theoretical and political questions raised by food TV's digital transformation.Bringing together analyses of food media texts and platform infrastructures-from streaming and catch-up TV to YouTube and Facebook food videos-it shows how new textual conventions, algorithmic practices, and market logics have redrawn the boundaries of food TV and altered the cultural place of food, and food media, in a digital era. With case studies of new and rerun television and emerging online genres, Digital Food TV considers what food television means at the current moment-a time when on-screen digital content is rapidly proliferating and televisual platforms and technologies are undergoing significant change.This book will appeal to students and scholars of food studies, television studies, and digital media studies.
