Martin-Jones, David Columbo (1474479804)
The primetime US television show Columbo was a global hit. As it reaches its fiftieth anniversary in 2021, it remains a cult favourite with fans. Analysis of Columbo reveals how the societal channelling of attention transformed during the transition from the Cold War to neoliberal globalization. Columbo illuminates how the contemporary channelling of attention is rooted in the late Twentieth Century. The emergence and workings of our globalized world - of 24/7 capital, surveillance, and online attentive labour - are revealed in Columbo's exploration of performance, technology, policing, and globalized urban space.
