The Mediation of Difference

Beschreibung

Cultural Diversity and Global Media explores the relationship between the media and multiculturalism.

• Summarises and critically discusses current approaches to multiculturalism and the media from a global perspecive
• Explores both the theoretical debates and empirical findings on multiculturalism and the media
• Assumes the new perspective of mediation of cultural diversity, which critically combines elements of previous theories in order to gain a better understanding of the relationship between the media and cultural diversity
• Explores media 'moments' of production, representation and consumption, while incorporating arguments on their shifting roles and boundaries
• Examines separately the role of the internet, which is linked to many changes in patterns of media production, representation and to increased possibilities for diasporic and transnational communication

Rezensionen

"It is easy to read, clearly written and well organised". (Times Higher Education Supplement, 4 November 2010)In Cultural Diversity and Global Media we learn that understanding the mediation of cultural diversity requires a comparative, global outlook. This is an invaluable contribution to the study of cultural diversity and media, providing both the tools and background necessary to study media representations of cultural diversity critically. It will help students and faculty alike to understand how discourse and media engage cultural diversity within increasingly complex global contexts.
