Summary of Ramon Lobato's Netflix Nations

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 There is still little agreement on what Netflix is or how it should be understood by the public, scholars, or media regulators. It is a boundary object that exists between, and inevitably problematizes, the conceptual categories used to think about media.

#2 There are a number of incompatible interpretive frames used to understand Netflix. Each frame brings with it a set of assumptions and invokes a particular history of industrial and technological evolution.

#3 The history of television has been heavily studied by media scholars. They have identified several transitions in the history of television that are working to transform it from a mass medium to a niche one.

#4 The work of U. S. television scholar Amanda Lotz offers a richly textured account of these transformations. She explains how the fundamental logic of television has been predicated on linearity, and how internet distribution has changed this.
