电视美学方面的著述为数不多。这有各种原因,但其中一点在人们试图解决下列问题时会逐渐弄清楚:没有人能够完全明白“电视”这一实体究竟是什么。从经济和文化基础的高度而言,电视这一技术是因还是果,是个争论不休的问題。雷蒙德·威廉斯 There are only a few television aesthetics writings. There are various reasons for this, but one of them is gradually being clarified when people try to solve the following problems: No one can fully understand what “television” is. From the standpoint of economic and cultural foundation, the technology of television is a controversial issue because of its consequences. Raymond Williams
