Twenty-first-century Americans are on a mission to cram every second of their earthly existence with significant accomplishments and momentous events. Even the most mundane undertaking must be approached with zeal, gusto, and expertise, or so the media persuade us to believe. Are we capable of doing anything casually anymore? This first book-length treatment of media's obsession with triviality, cultural critic Ronald Bishop calls into focus the role of media in the demise of scale -- the amount of effort, intensity, and significance with which we live -- in contemporary culture. Bishop argues that American audiences are assaulted with messages that the ordinary, and often private, aspects of our lives -- family, childhood, parenting, education, food, sports, home improvement -- must be showcased publicly and with extreme passion."--Publisher's description. 606 $aCulture 606 $aMass media and culture 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aMass media and culture. 676 $a302.230973/09045 700 $aBishop$b Ronald$f1961-$01602644 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970852903321 996 $aMore$94360920 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03297nam 2200697Ia 450 001 9910961848603321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9780791486054 010 $a0791486052 010 $a9781417575695 010 $a1417575697 035 $a(CKB)1000000000452488 035 $a(OCoLC)57579034 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10594713 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000255411 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11209534 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000255411 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10212730 035 $a(PQKB)11610710 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3408386 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse6074 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3408386 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10594713 035 $a(DE-B1597)682867 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780791486054 035 $a(Perlego)2672514 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000452488 100 $a20021220d2004 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aTalking problems $estudies of discursive construction /$fRichard Buttny 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aAlbany $cState University of New York Press$dc2004 215 $a1 online resource (225 p.) 225 0$aSUNY series in communication studies 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a9780791458952 311 08$a0791458954 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 191-206) and index. 327 $tFront Matter -- $tContents -- $tAcknowledgments -- $tIntroduction -- $tTellings in Talking Problems -- $tAscribing Problems and Positionings in Talking Student Teenage Parent1 -- $tClients? and Therapist?s Joint Construction of the Clients?

The book examines a series of problems, including teenage parenthood in high school, interpersonal and family relationships during therapy, and racism and interracial relations on a university campus. These problems are taken as joint constructions and the interest is in how participants' versions of events get heard, what unfolds as a consequence of this, how participants position themselves, and what social realities are thereby created. 606 $aDiscourse analysis 606 $aInterpersonal communication 606 $aSocial interaction 606 $aOral communication 615 0$aDiscourse analysis. 615 0$aInterpersonal communication. 615 0$aSocial interaction. 615 0$aOral communication. 676 $a401/.41 700 $aButtny$b Richard$0545615 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961848603321 996 $aTalking problems$94361855 997 $aUNINA
