38 And it matters not whether the conversation arises from fictional or nonfictional programming. ” What this study reveals is that the conversation citizens have with television exists in three ways. People talk to television, speaking back to the set (whether alone or in groups), just as television talks to them. 39 People also talk about television with others (what they have watched there) with great regularity. And people talk with television, using its narratives as part of how the world is to be understood and explained.
As a textual practice, however, we should focus our attention on how the “meaning” of politics is produced by citizens through their systematic interpretations of media offerings. As psychologist Jerome Bruner succinctly put it, culture “gives meaning to action by situating its underlying intentional states in an interpretive system. ”59 34 Chapter 2 Obviously, television has become a (if not the) dominant purveyor of communal life through the various languages, discourses, and narratives that citizens ritually attend to now in late modern society.
33 Instead, he argues, citizenship for young people is lived from the personal into the public. Their knowledge, understandings, and concerns for public life emanate from personal bonds with family and friends, but also from their personal relationship with popular media. “Their understanding of political life seems primarily discursive,” he notes, “existing in the ideas that emerge from local interactions in the presence of the media. ”36 Similar results are reported by Michael Delli Carpini and Bruce Williams in their examination of television’s effect on how citizens process information and formulate opinions on environmental issues.
