Reviews

'...recommended as a highly exciting and wide-ranging reference for current TV productions from Eastern Europe.' Nicole Kandioler, rezens.tfm e-journal 'Popular Television in Eastern Europe During and Since Socialism greatly contributes to a better understanding of cultural Eastern European specificity. To achieve this goal, the volume does not keep its reflection to established geopolitical boundaries, instead, it proves how productive a more problematic approach can be. It questions assumed historical paradigms, includes Eastern European popular TV in the broader international history of the medium, promotes further reflection on national, regional and transnational media identities, and includes gender and ethnic varieties into a broader scope.' Francesco Pitassio, Cinema&Cie
