To watch television is to watch bodies in motion: walking, dancing, cooking, fighting, running, playing, travelling, and so on. Television and the Moving Body presents the first detailed exploration of the moving body on television. It analyses different types of movement, including walking, dancing, sports, and craft, outlining how these different movement profiles are employed to construct time, tell stories, work through cultural issues, and foster empathy. Through a range of case studies across different genres and formats, including Gogglebox, The West Wing, Taskmaster, The Repair Shop, Strictly Come Dancing and Sense8, this book examines what television’s moving bodies tell us both about normative ideas of movement and identity, and about television itself.

"This inspired study of television as a medium of movement gifts us a powerful new toolbox for questioning problematic associations between television, sedentariness, and passivity. Through wide-ranging analysis of both moving bodies on screen and embodied responses to television, this book launches kinaesthesia as an exciting new theoretical framework for television studies, offering new insights into many of our key concepts, from flow, liveness and seriality, to intimacy, empathy and care."
