A global smash in the 1970s, it is now a cult TV favourite. What is the reason for this enduring popularity? In this fascinating exploration of a television classic, David Martin-Jones argues that Columbo reveals how our current globalized world--of 24/7 capital, invasive surveillance and online labour--emerged in the late 20th century. Exploring everything from the influences on Falk's iconic acting style to the show's depiction of Los Angeles, Martin-Jones illuminates how our attention is channelled, via technologies like television and computers, to influence how we perform, learn, police and locate ourselves in today's world. Columbo emerged alongside shows like Kojak and The Rockford Files, but re-viewing the series today reveals how contemporary television hits--from Elementary to The Purge--continue to shape how and why we pay attention 24/7. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 218-231) and index. 505 00 $a Machine generated contents note: $g 6. $t Locating: Bare Life in LA. $g 2. $t Pay Strict Attention -- $g 3. $t Performing: Falk Acts/Columbo Pays Attention -- $g 4. $t Learning: Columbo vs Modernity -- $g 5. $t Policing: Not Class, History -- $g 6. $t Locating: Bare Life in LA. 630 00 $a Columbo (Television program) 630 07 $a Columbo (Television program) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01374765 650 0 $a Television broadcasting $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Television $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Attention. 650 2 $a Attention $0 (DNLM)D001288 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781474479820 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022557.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E9E98BF21DF111EDA8BEF4A423ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
