Building upon extensive archival research in Britain, Germany, and the United States, Anne-Katrin Weber analyses the sites where the new medium met its first audiences. She argues that public displays were central to television’s social construction; for the historian, the exhibitions therefore constitute crucial events to understand not only the medium’s pre-war emergence, but also its subsequent domestication in the post-war years. Designed as a transnational study, her book highlights the multiple circulations of artefacts and ideas across borders of democratic and totalitarian regimes alike. Richly illustrated with 100 photographs, Weber finally emphasizes that even without regular programmes, interwar television was widely seen.Televisual cultureTelevision broadcastingHistoryTelevisionExhibitionsHistoryTelevision History, New Media, Exhibition Studies.Television broadcastingHistory.TelevisionExhibitionsHistory.791.4509Weber Anne-Katrinauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut0DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996475757003316Television before TV2847881UNISA
