Summary:
"
Television
in Canada has been undervalued as a cultural form. Despite being publicly funded, Canadian
television
programs are also notoriously difficult to access once they go off the air, which has compounded the problem. In
What
Television
Remembers
Jennifer VanderBurgh intervenes in the story of the medium in Canada by exploring the long relationship between
TV
and the city of
Toronto
. From the first demonstration of
television
at the Canadian National Exhibition in 1939 and the mass viewing of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation broadcast in 1953 to the late-century installation of
TV
screens in public spaces around the city,
television
has shaped Toronto’s collective imagination and affirmed viewers in their multiple identities as local residnts, national citizens, and transnational consumers. In a close reading of Toronto-based CBC dramas from the 1960s to 2010, VanderBurgh explains how the city has functioned as a strategic location in CBC programming, reflecting dramatically changing ideas about Canadian identity, community, and citizenship. At a time when many are suggesting that the era of
television
is over,
What
Television
Remembers
sounds the alarm that we are in danger of forgetting
TV
in Canada without appreciating the complexities of its contributions and legacy."--Publisher.
