Reality TV has changed television and changed reality, even if we are not among the millions who watch. Written for a broad audience, this accessible overview addresses questions such as: How real is reality TV? How do its programs represent gender, sex, class, and race? How does reality TV relate to politics, to consumer society, to surveillance? What kind of ethics are on display? Drawing on current media research and the author s own analysis, this study encompasses the history and evolution of reality television, its production of reflexive selves and ordinary celebrity, its advertising and commercialization, and its spearheading of new relations between television and social media. To dismiss this programming as trivial is easy. Deery demonstrates that reality television merits serious attention and her incisive analysis will interest students in media studies, cultural studies, politics, sociology, and anyone who is simply curious about this global phenomenon.

Arrivée en avril 2001 sur nos écrans avec l'émission Loft Story, la télé-réalité a été reçue par une levée de boucliers extrêmement vive. Pourtant, en 2013, ces programmes sont toujours à l’antenne, et surtout, ils figurent parmi les plus regardés. Comment a-t-on su rendre attractives des émissions si décriées ? Comment s’est-on efforcé de rendre éthique un genre polémique et anxiogène ? Comment a-t-on jugulé une controverse née de l’incapacité à saisir la nouveauté autrement que par la crainte et la dénonciation ? Comment a-t-on instauré de la confiance entre les téléspectateurs et des programmes suscitant une méfiance intense ? Comment a-t-on remplacé la crainte de regarder par le plaisir et l’amusement ? C’est à ces questions que cet ouvrage tente de répondre. Soucieuse de ne pas entrer dans la ronde des critiques sans pour autant tomber dans l’apologie de la télé-réalité, Nathalie Nadaud-Albertini a utilisé une sociologie pragmatiste pour décrire le processus dynamique d’interactions entre les producteurs, les contempteurs et les téléspectateurs-internautes, au terme duquel la télé-réalité s’est adaptée à ses critiques pour se constituer en un genre éthiquement acceptable. C’est en étudiant les critiques initiales, les programmes de 2001 à 2011, et la réception sur les forums Internet que cet ouvrage décrit le premier défi et le premier moment de la télé-réalité : celui de la quête d’une innocuité morale.

Is reality TV a coherent genre? This book addresses this question by examining the characteristics, contexts and breadth of reality TV through a history of its programming trends. Paying attention to stylistic connections as well as key concepts, this study breaks reality television down into three main 'generations': the camcorder generation, the competition generation and the celebrity generation. Beginning with a consideration of the applicability of the term 'genre' for this televisual hybrid, the book takes a transnational approach to investigating the forms and formats of reality TV framed by relevant popular and critical discourses.

Watch this show, buy this product, you can be a whole new you! 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.
