With the majority of the world's population now living in cities,
questions about the cultural and political trajectories of urban
societies are increasingly urgent. Media and the City explores the
global city as the site where these questions become most
prominent. As a space of intense communication and difference, the
global city forces us to think about the challenges of living in
close proximity to each other. Do we really see, hear and
understand our neighbours? This engaging book examines the
contradictory realities of cosmopolitanization as these emerge in
four interfaces: consumption, identity, community and action. Each
interface is analysed through a set of juxtapositions to reveal the
global city as a site of antagonisms, empathies and co-existing
particularities. Timely, interdisciplinary and multi-perspectival,
Media and the City will be essential reading for students and
scholars in media and communications, cultural studies and
sociology, and of interest to those concerned with the growing role
of the media in changing urban societies.
