Abstract

Television studies in Poland has not yet been recognized as an academic discipline in its own right. Despite this obvious omission in the institutional division of academic fields, Polish researchers have been studying television: its texts, audiences and history. This aerial review aims to present the main intellectual traditions that influenced academic writing of Polish scholars on the topic of television, both domestic and imported. This focus on research conducted by Polish scholars, and written mainly in Polish, allows for an examination of the body of work that is otherwise inaccessible to Anglo-American researchers due to the language barrier. Local academic debates are presented in a way that reflects the main disciplinary criteria of Anglo-American television studies, allowing for a clear organization of what is a substantial amount of literature. Additionally, this review aims to give a sense of what it is like to study television in an environment where TV criticism and analysis are not granted the status of an academic discipline. The consideration of the broader context for Polish studies on television allows for a thorough understanding of this academic field, its focus, main methodologies, challenges and its way forward.

在波兰，电视研究本身尚未被认为是一门学科。尽管在学术领域的制度划分上有这种明显的遗漏，波兰的研究人员一直在研究电视:它的文本、观众和历史。这一空中回顾旨在展示影响波兰学者关于电视主题的学术写作的主要知识传统，包括国内的和进口的。这种对波兰学者进行的研究的关注，主要是用波兰语写的，允许对盎格鲁-美国研究人员由于语言障碍而无法获得的大量工作进行检查。当地的学术辩论以一种反映英美电视研究的主要学科标准的方式呈现，允许对大量文献进行清晰的组织。此外，这篇评论的目的是让人们了解在一个电视批评和分析不被授予学术学科地位的环境中研究电视是什么样子的。考虑波兰电视研究的更广泛背景，可以全面了解这一学术领域、其重点、主要方法、挑战及其前进方向。
