Anachronism, apologetics and Robin Hood: Televisual nationhood after TV

Television studies post-television is a project that announces two problems for contemporary media research. First, what is 'post' in one place may be current in another; and second, the appellation 'post-anything' is generally a signal of intent to revision rather than to abandon an intellectual or political project. It is therefore wise to warn the reader that we may stray immediately into the past in our efforts to explain disquiet with the present.
