Fri May 06 12:56:36 GMT 2011




Let me draw your attention to Sabina Mihelj's book Media Nations: Communicating Belonging and Exclusion in the Modern World, just out of press with Palgrave MacMillan: http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?pid=360609.

Media Nations: Communicating Belonging and Exclusion in the Modern World provides an original interdisciplinary introduction to the study of the media and nationalism in the modern world. Building on a range of international case studies and taking into account recent debates about globalization, cosmopolitanism and alternative modernities, Sabina Mihelj offers an insightful analysis that: • argues for the continuing relevance of concepts such as nationalism and national identity in understanding the global patterns of mediated communication and identification • bridges the gap between text-based analysis of national imagination and the more sociological concerns with the impact of media institutions and the broader political and economic context • challenges the tacit ethnocentrism of existing debates, and opens up the study of nationalism and mass communication to the multiple trajectories of modernity around the globe Sabina Mihelj is Senior Lecturer in Media, Communication and Culture at Loughborough University (UK). She is the author of several articles and book chapters on nationalism and the media, European communication and Cold War culture.
