This book offers a nuanced understanding of 'offensive' television content by drawing on an extensive research project, involving in-depth interviews and focus groups with audiences in Britain and Germany. Provocative Screens asks: what makes something really offensive and to whom in what context? Why it offence felt so differently? And how does offensive content matter in public life, regulation, and institutional understandings?

Ranjana Das is Senior Lecturer in Media and Communication at the University of Surrey, UK. Anne Graefer is Lecturer in Media Theory at Birmingham City University, UK.
