    Claudia Weber Claudia Televisionization Enactments of TV Experiences in Novels from 1970 to 2010 Claudia Weber Televisionization Claudia Weber pursued her doctoral studies both at Stock- holm University, Sweden and Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen, Germany. She is now employed at Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany where she works in higher education didactics. ISBN 978-91-7447-979-9 Department of English Doctoral Thesis in English at Stockholm University, Sweden 2014 Televisionization: Enactments of TV Experiences in Novels from 1970 to 2010 Claudia Weber Televisionization Enactments of TV Experiences in Novels from 1970 to 2010 Claudia Weber © Claudia Weber, Stockholm University 2014 ISBN 978-91-7447-979-9 Printed in Sweden by Stockholm University Press, Stockholm 2014 Distributor: Department of English Abstract TV’s conquest of the American household in the period from the 1940s to the 1960s went hand in hand with critical discussions that revolved around the disastrous impact of television consumption on the viewer. To this day, watching television is connected with anxieties about the trivialization and banalization of society. At the same time, however, people appreciate it both as a source of information and entertainment. Television is therefore ‘both…and:’ entertainment and anxiety; distraction and allurement; compan- ionship and intrusion. When the role and position of television in culture is ambiguous, personal relations with, attitudes towards, and experiences of television are equally ambivalent, sometimes even contradictory, but the public and academic discourses on television tend to be partial. They focus on the negative impact of television consumption on the viewer, thereby neglecting whatever positive experiences one might associate with it.

Managed services refers to the outsourcing of the day-to-day management of a specific function. Managed services are available for a wide range of a number of IT-related activities. Unlike IT project work or break/fix support, managed services provide proactive support and maintenance on an ongoing basis. WHY USE MANAGED SERVICES? The proactive management of IT resources enables organizations to keep IT services operational and up-to- date, minimizing problems and downtime. But this requires resources that strapped IT departments may not have. Managed services provide organizations with a cost-effective way to supplement their IT resources, allowing them to free up employees to focus on activities with the highest strategic value. It also enables companies to take advantage of: • Lower total cost of ownership (TCO) thanks to economies of scale they may not be able to achieve on their own; • Cost-effective access to enterprise-level support; • Access to deep domain expertise they may not have in-house; and • Predictable operating costs via fixed monthly fees.

Significant work has already begun to provide high-performance internet, Ethernet, television, advanced voice and other solutions to many businesses and organizations, and additional network expansions will continue into the second quarter of 2021. With this latest project, Comcast Business has now invested more than $85 million in proactive network expansions in the region since 2014, including more than $30 million invested in the City of Philadelphia.
