The Promise of Sociology of Television: Investigating the Potential of Phenomenological Approaches

Mills (1959) saw the true potential of sociology in exploring the link between micro-level human experience and macro-level societal trends and structures. And yet, sociological inquiry has largely overlooked microlevel approaches to a common quotidian American experience: watching television. Overemphasis on "topdown" approaches to studying television leads to three main misconceptions about television-watching and any micro-level approach to studying it: that the practice of watching television is too individualistic, too mundane, and too difficult to study. In fact, television-watching is social in myriad ways and, although mundane in its quotidian nature, is not devoid of complex power dynamics for sociological investigation. Research by scholars in other fields indicates that studying television at the micro-level is sometimes challenging, but possible. A truly effective and comprehensive sociology of television cannot exist until sociologists use phenomenological approaches to investigate people's experience of structure in their lives, engaging micro-alongside macro-level perspectives. The promise of sociology of television, then, can only be realized by tapping the potential of phenomenological approaches to create a more complete understanding of television-one that must reconcile the power of institutions with agency, context, and experience in daily life.

“…Przy okazji analiz aktywności pisarskiej uczestniczek fandomów Zmierzchu zaczęto zwracać uwagę, że czytelniczki sagi, na przekór rozpowszechnionemu przekonaniu, treści książek nie traktowały ani w sposób bezrefleksyjny, ani w sposób bezkrytyczny (Summers, 2010;Lindgren Leavenworth, 2011, s. 69). W części fandomowej twórczości (fanfikach z gatunku OOC -out of character) relacje pomiędzy bezwolną Bellą a dominującym Edwardem ulegały przedefiniowaniu na rzecz emancypacji tej pierwszej, bardziej niezależnej i pewnej siebie współczesnej nastolatki.…”

W proponowanym artykule analizie poddany zostaje wpływ publikacji cyklu Zmierzch na funkcjonowanie współczesnego życia literackiego. Wywołująca kontrowersje ogromna popularność sagi, zarówno wśród jej fanów, jak i antyfanów, w połączeniu z następującym ówcześnie rozwojem portali społecznościowych, zaowocowała zmianą kulturową, w wyniku której mechanizmy komunikacji literackiej uległy trwałej transformacji. Równoczesnym efektem masowej poczytności książek Stephenie Meyer była zmiana statusu literatury kierowanej do młodych czytelniczek, która z oferty marginalnej stała się jednym z najbardziej obecnie rozwijanych segmentów rynku wydawniczego.
