Makeover television shows repeatedly promise self-renewal and the opportunity for reinvention, but what do we know about the people who watch them? As it turns out, surprisingly little.The Makeover is the first book to consider the rapid rise of makeover shows from the perspectives of their viewers. Katherine Sender argues that this genre of reality television continues a long history of self-improvement, shaped through contemporary media, technological, and economic contexts. Most people think that reality television viewers are ideological dupes and obliging consumers. Sender, however, finds that they have a much more nuanced and reflexive approach to the shows they watch. They are critical of the instruction, the consumer plugs, and the manipulative editing in the shows. At the same time, they buy into the shows? imperative to construct a reflexive self: an inner self that can be seen as if from the outside, and must be explored and expressed to others. The Makeover intervenes in debates about both reality television and audience research, offering the concept of the reflexive self to move these debates forward. 410 0$aCritical cultural communication. 606 $aMakeover television programs$xHistory and criticism 606 $aReality television programs$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aMakeover television programs$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aReality television programs$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a791.45655 686 $aAP 35160$2rvk 700 $aSender$b Katherine, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01598162 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996582049803316 996 $aThe Makeover$94128414 997 $aUNISA
