>CALL FOR PAPERS: GLOBALIZATION IN ITALIAN MEDIA
>
>
>An anthology edited by Michela Ardizzoni (University of Louisville) and
>Chiara Ferrari (UCLA).
>
>Proposals are invited for a collection that examines the impact of
>globalization on current Italian media. Globalization is understood as the
>set of economic and cultural processes and technologies behind the current
>compression of time and space, which produce a sense of immediacy and
>simultaneity about the world. In the recent past, Italian media have
>responded in different ways to the convergence of global media formats,
>foreign ownership, and culturally diverse audience. Some media have
>embraced the forces of globalization, while others have retrenched behind
>national and regional lines. This book attempts to trace the general
>trends that characterize Italian media at the turn of the 21st century.
