New Media and International Development (eBook, ePUB)

Representation and affect in microfinance

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book brings together two sets of development questions usually considered separately: the affective investments in humanitarian and development aid and the latter's use of visual representation and digital media. The author interweaves analysis of both to directly address young people's investments in charitable giving, mediated through websites and tours. Using the example of microfinance - the inclusion of the world's poor people into formal financial services - this book analyzes how the participation of financial inclusion supporters in global poverty alleviation efforts is shaped by affective sentiments, relationships and collectivities.
