| Description | This study is a historical research work focused on the specific audiovisual format called television song, which was the music video forerunner made by Czechoslovak Television since 1958. The research is focused on the early years of working with this format until 1968/1970, which was the historical milestone representing the shutdown of the liberalization process in Czechoslovakia following the Soviet-led invasion on 21st August 1968. The aim of this work is to clarify the genesis of the television song format as a part of television entertainment which was the production field for filming this format. This study also proves how elastic the format of the television song was and how it contributed to more flexible and effective cooperation among culture industries. This work reveals a synergy of culture industries (theatre, television, film, radio broadcasting companies, recording companies) as well as the (non)specificity of their cooperation in the socialist state and its economy. The final ambition is to outline a new perspective on the audiovisual formats in the context of the 1960s, thus paving the way to a more structured view about the nature and peculiarities of audiovisual production during this period in Czechoslovakia. |
