Despite being publicly funded, Canadian television programs are also notoriously difficult to access once they go off the air, which has compounded the problem. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWhat Television Remembers\u003c\/i\u003e Jennifer VanderBurgh intervenes in the story of the medium in Canada by exploring the long relationship between TV and the city of Toronto. From the first demonstration of television at the Canadian National Exhibition in 1939 and the mass viewing of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation broadcast in 1953 to the late-century installation of TV screens in public spaces around the city, television has shaped Toronto's collective imagination and affirmed viewers in their multiple identities as local residents, national citizens, and transnational consumers. In a close reading of Toronto-based CBC dramas from the 1960s to 2010, VanderBurgh explains how the city has functioned as a strategic location in CBC programming, reflecting dramatically changing ideas about Canadian identity, community, and citizenship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt a time when many are suggesting that the era of television is over, \u003ci\u003eWhat Television Remembers\u003c\/i\u003e sounds the alarm that we are in danger of forgetting TV in Canada without appreciating the complexities of its contributions and legacy.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJennifer VanderBurgh is associate professor in the Department of English Language and Literature at Saint Mary's University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48395876499705,"sku":"9780228019114","price":58.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Uhf-1nxUbi9780228019114.webp?v=1778619330","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/what-television-remembers-artifacts-and-footprints-of-tv-in-toronto-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
