[ecrea] Media Nations: Communicating Belonging and Exclusion in the Modern World

Fri May 06 12:59:42 GMT 2011


[sorry, wrong title of msg]

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.
