| Tiivistelmä: | The author examines the construction of public identities in 'lifestyle' television programming, specifically property shows, in which members of the public appear either as potential home buyers ('house-hunters') or as home owners looking to maximize the value of their properties ('vendors'). In a selected episode of the Channel 5 show, the author explores an eclectic analysis both of broad sociocultural discourses and of the verbal and physical interaction between the host and the public participants. It is sometimes argued that media exposure can be empowering for the general public, but in a tightly edited production such as this, subject positions are created for participants that may be less than flattering. |
