Hills argues that a traditional aesthetic discourse is very much identifiable in a number of key pieces in the field of television studies, and that far from being merely subjective or wholly stratified by sociological identity, this discourse is in fact linked to a specific philosophical position which may be termed pre-structuralist. Pre-structuralist invocations of television aesthetics are readily identifiable by virtue of the fact that they position aesthetic value as textually inherent, i.e. transcendent, rather than as textually and evaluatively relational. Furthermore, their enactment is also discernible in moments in which they not only neglect issues of cultural power linked to canon-building, but in fact wilfully dematerialise what amount to symbolic relations of inequality embedded in canonicity.
