Place, Power, Media: Mediated Responses to Globalization is a
compelling, interdisciplinary exploration of how media practices
and communication rituals are connected to larger economic, social,
and political processes in a globalizing world. Through a rich
variety of media texts, authors examine how daily, mundane, and
interpersonal processes help shape 'our' place in the world, a
placement that is integrally connected to social relations at the
global level. Denoting a sense of geography as well as demarcating
diverse social positionings, place is understood as the result of
historical and contemporary discourses occurring on a range of
scales and within different cultural, aesthetic, and political
contexts. The authors argue that the construction, restoration,
configuration, and representation of place is an important project
at multiple levels; what meanings are derived from it, what
meanings are infused, who the key players are, what power struggles
are inherent-these issues offer rich areas of study for global
media scholars interested in the place-making powers of media.
