The Logics of Globalization by Anandam P. Kavoori Pdf
This book presents the theoretical language and methodological tools needed for thinking through issues of global media representation. It brings students into a conversation about global culture and communication through the presentation of a conceptual language to discuss the "logics of globalization" (i.e., nationalism, modernism, postmodernism/colonialism, capitalism, and terrorism). Anandam Kavoori uses this language to critically interrogate various media texts. The choices of texts are eclectic-representing old and new media-and chosen for the wider "logic" they help animate. Most importantly, they reorient the study of global media texts from the formal to the popular, examining films, music, gaming, cell phones, travel journalism, and performance. Book jacket.
