Document Summary
Daytime tv talk shows both challenge cultural hierarchies and ____ How and why the two hands come together in this context . How both giving voice and marginalization contribute to daytime talk tv shows. Common people are real stars that take private life and willing to make it public. Source of their authority & expertise = personal matters. Says you have a voice; they are valued in this context. Those normally excluded from the media have a chance of visibility. At the end of the day, the act itself reinforces the hierarchy. Not there to demonstrate their education/expertise only on backstage and airing dirty laundry. Get down and dirty // baring it all // precise moment of letting go/losing control . Losing the civilized self culture is about civilization. Ordinary does not mean average/typical/representative of general public. Everything done coaching, rehearsing, etc. geared towards money shot.
