Rewriting Television

In this groundbreaking book, renowned author Alison Peirse delves into the uncharted territories of television production, shedding light on the often-overlooked aspects of its creation. Through a series of unique practitioner interviews, Peirse presents an original approach that challenges conventional methods in film, television, and media studies. Published in 2026, this thought-provoking work offers a feminist intervention that seeks to revolutionize our understanding of television and its impact on society. By exploring the hidden dynamics of television production, Peirse invites readers to rethink their assumptions and join the conversation about the future of television studies. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of media, culture, and feminism.
