Lifestyle Media in Asia (eBook, ePUB)

Consumption, Aspiration and Identity
Redaktion: Martin, Fran; Lewis, Tania

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Across Asia, consumer culture is increasingly shaping everyday life, with neoliberal economic and social policies increasingly adopted by governments who see their citizens as individualised consumers. This book explores how far everyday conceptions and experiences of identity are being transformed by media cultures across the region. It considers a range of media in different Asian contexts, contrasting how the shaping of lifestyles in Asia differs from similar processes in Western countries, and assessing how the new lifestyle media represents not just a new emergent media culture, but also illustrates wider cultural and social changes in the Asian region.
