The practices of world politics are now scrutinised in a way that
is unprecedented, with even those previously - or conventionally
assumed to be - disengaged from international affairs being drawn
into world politics by social media. Interactive websites allow
users to follow election results in real-time from the other side
of the world, and online mapping means that the world 'out there'
is now available on your mobile phone. Understanding Popular
Culture and World Politics in the Digital Age engages these themes
in contemporary world politics, to better understand how digital
communication through new media technologies changes our encounters
with the world. Whether the focus is digital media, social
networking or user-generated content, these sites of political
activity and the artefacts they produce have much to tell us about
how we engage world politics in the contemporary age. This volume
represents the starting point of a dialogue about how digital
technologies are beginning to impact the research and practice of
scholars and practitioners in the field of International Relations,
with the collection of cutting-edge essays dealing specifically
with the intertextuality of world politics and digital popular
culture. This book will be of use to International Relations
research academics (and critically engaged publics) interested in
the core themes of global politics - subjectivity, militarism,
humanitarianism, civil society organisation, and governance. The
book also employs theories and techniques closely associated with
other social science disciplines, including political theory,
sociology, cultural studies and media studies.
