A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"With the publication of this volume, cultural studies begins to speak with a multiplicity of Asian accents, marking an excellent step towards meaningful and contrapuntal dialogues with those who have Anglo–American accents in the era of globalization."
–– Chin–Chuan Lee, City University of Hong Kong

"This book represents a coming of age of critical media studies in Asia, and about Asia. Written by Asian authors who are attuned to the hegemonic power of both Western media and Western paradigms of media studies, this collection of essays outlays the complex landscape of Asian media scholarship in one of the most dynamic regions in the world today. What we find is that there are many Asias, shaped by the intersections of power and subordination, pessimism and optimism, hope and despair."
––Ien Ang, University of Western Sydney

"The mediascapes of Asia are among the most dynamic and exciting in the world right now, and the most politically vital. This absorbing collection does much more than explore the profound changes occurring in the region as transnational media flows intensify, different modes of historical and political consciousness form, and new subjective realities take shape. In doing all this with acuity and flair, it revitalizes media studies."
––Meaghan Morris, Lingnan University
