商品簡介
Researchers from the fields of communications, sociology, political science, and psychology evaluate the "reality" television program "Survivor" and its spin-offs, focusing on what takes places within the text of such programs and how they reflect on or affect the larger culture in which they take place. Topics include reality television's relationship with cultural identity, publicity rights, history, decision-making strategies, political rationality, office politics, and primitivism.
