Reviews
“Across a polymorphous array of new media engagements, Elizabeth Rodwell questions how and with what affects/effects television is being recrafted in Japan following the ‘crisis’ of news dissemination during 3.11. Attentively ethnographic and analytically astute, Push the Button explores the implications—political, social, and technological—of inviting viewers to interact so intimately with their televisual machines.”
-- Anne Allison, author of Being Dead Otherwise
“Based on solid fieldwork with excellent theoretical analysis, Push the Button provides a fascinating ethnographic overview of interactive television in Japan and offers striking new insights into media in the early twenty-first century. This wonderful book speaks to experts and newcomers alike—a real gem!”
-- Ian Condry, author of The Soul of Anime: Collaborative Creativity and Japan’s Media Success Story
"Well-researched and analytically rigorous, this book is highly accessible to anyone interested in the anthropology of Japan, media studies, and television history."
