Size: 8vo 7 3/4 - 9 3/4". lxvii + 383pp. Binding firm, spine creased. Stuart Hall's copy, with his ink signature. Edges slightly browned and marked. Covers slightly marked. "The book serves as a blistering, inside account of the early years of RTÉ television, Ireland’s national public service broadcaster, documenting a major revolt by creative broadcasters against commercialized, conservative managerial oversight. The value of this specific physical book relies completely on its provenance connecting it to Stuart Hall (1932—2014), the world-renowned Jamaican-British cultural theorist and godfather of British Cultural Studies. As the director of the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) at the University of Birmingham during the 1970s, Hall was actively constructing his groundbreaking theories on media representation, hegemony, and public broadcasting models. A text like Sit Down and Be Counted, which explicitly analyzes the collision between state control, capitalistic advertising, and creative independence in media, represents the exact structural critique Hall studied and taught."
