communication +1 is pleased to present:

Media:Culture:Policy

*Edited by Sean Johnson Andrews, Janice Peck, Gilbert B. Rodman, and Fan 
Yang (杨帆)*

The relationship between culture and policy has long been a major topic 
for media and cultural studies. With this issue, we hope to broaden the 
meaning of cultural policy, from policies that are explicitly regulating 
something we call the “cultural” (including media or traditional rituals 
or symbols) to include the practice of policy-making and the cultural 
legitimation of law and policy itself, regardless of the object or 
dimension of social life it regulates. The essays in this issue argue 
for (or at least accept) an understanding of policy as a cultural 
production representing certain ideological outlooks, and thus 
implicitly suggest that cultural policy studies should encompass a wide 
range of policies; at the same time, the essays are interested in the 
cultural mechanisms and means through which policies are promulgated and 
enforced - from think tanks to social media flak, from the global 
circulation of ideologies to the local practices of 
appropriation/resistance.

To the authors we extend our deep gratitude for their contributions. To 
the readers we extend our invitation for input and suggestions. The 
following pages begin a conversation we hope will continue. And it is to 
those whom have spoken we shall turn.
