Articles About Entertaiment

Entertainment is a broad genre of popular culture that has demonstrated the ability to transverse different media. As a result, familiar forms are readily available from an almost unlimited number of sources. In addition, a remarkable flexibility in the interpretation of these forms has resulted in a seemingly endless potential for creative remix. The word entertainment derives from the Middle French entretenement, which in turn comes from the Medieval Latin inter tenere. The prefix inter means “inside,” and the suffix tenere is related to the Indo-European root of ten, meaning ‘stretch.’ See also amusement, diversion, and enjoyment.
