The study of Asian culture, media and communications is an area that has developed rapidly over the past two decades. This rapid development has led to the deployment of diverse scholarly approaches while simultaneously raising important questions regarding the extent to which the use of key terms such as "nation", "citizenship" and "modernity" must be modified to reflect the specificity of an Asian context. Furthermore, the irrepressible flows of popular cultural forms and the enthusiastic adoption of new communications technologies across the region demand approaches that can accommodate the dynamism and diversity of Asian culture and media. Contemporary Culture and Media in Asia brings together leading scholars from Asia, North America and Australia to address questions related to these challenges, producing new insights and frameworks that can be productively utilized by students and scholars working in the field.

Industry Reviews

This volume brings together a refreshing set of chapters focusing on the diverse and dynamic landscape of contemporary Asian media and culture. Adopting what the editors call a 'trans-Asian' approach and adopting an expansive notion of 'Asia' that extends beyond discrete nation-states and conventional regional boundaries, the volume is testimony to the coming into maturity of Asian and Asian-diasporic scholarship in the field. -- Ien Ang, Distinguished Professor of Cultural Studies, University of Western Sydney
