商品描述
This book aims to assess the extent to which work health, safety and wellbeing (HSW) considerations are trivialised on the popular Australian reality TV programme, The Block. Reality TV as a genre plays a core feature in media and cultural studies, but there has not been any research on the impact of reality TV on safety culture, or how HSW issues are portrayed in popular media.
This research remedies this deficiency and demonstrates contestants are workers on The Block who perform workplace activities. The work-related activities are concerned with construction, building and renovation work; and specifically, participants engage in what are seemingly routine or ordinary everyday life activities; namely housing construction and domestic or home dwelling renovations. It supports the argument claim that contestants on reality TV are defined as workers, and this definition of worker can be extended to other genres.
The book ultimately demonstrates that reality television is trivialising HSW for the purposes of satisfying audience desire to consume popular culture, and these activities perpetuate a poor image of best safety practice.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書旨在評估在澳大利亞熱門真人實境節目《The Block》中，工作健康、安全與福祉（HSW）考量被輕視的程度。真人實境電視作為一個類型，在媒體與文化研究中扮演著核心角色，但目前尚未有關於真人實境電視對安全文化影響的研究，或是HSW議題在流行媒體中的呈現方式。
本研究彌補了這一缺口，並展示參賽者在《The Block》中是從事工作活動的工人。這些與工作相關的活動涉及建築、施工和翻修工作；具體而言，參與者參與的似乎是日常生活中的常規或普通活動，即住房建設和家庭或住宅翻修。這支持了參賽者在真人實境電視中被定義為工人的論點，並且這一工人的定義可以擴展到其他類型的節目。
本書最終表明，真人實境電視為了滿足觀眾對流行文化的消費欲望，正在輕視HSW，而這些活動則延續了對最佳安全實踐的負面形象。
