Although the academic study of development is well established, as
is also its policy implementation, less considered are the broader,
more popular understandings of development that often shape agendas
and priorities, particularly in representative democracies. Through
its accessible and provocative chapters, Popular Representations of
Development introduces the idea that while the issue of
'development' - defined broadly as problems of poverty and social
deprivation, and the various agencies and processes seeking to
address these - is normally one that is discussed by social
scientists and policy makers, it also has a wider 'popular'
dimension. Development is something that can be understood through
studying literature, films, and other non-conventional forms of
representation. It is also a public issue, one that has
historically been associated with musical movements such as Live
Aid and increasingly features in newer media such as blogs and
social networking. The book connects the effort to build a more
holistic understanding of development issues with an exploration of
the diverse public sphere in which popular engagement with
development takes place. This book gives students of development
studies, media studies and geography as well as students in the
humanities engaging with global development issues a variety of
perspectives from different disciplines to open up this new field
for discussion.
