America has long exported its network and cable programming abroad,
but with a changing world comes a changing dynamic. As global
centers of power shift, and wealth becomes redistributed, and
perhaps even re-centered, vast audiences which have never before
had contact with American television will begin to gain access to
the full wealth and abundance of American programming. The opening
of new markets and new audiences, particularly within the growing
superpowers of China and India, presents us with a novel situation.
It is one thing for a show like "The OC" to be played in a nation
like England, where the cultural and religious differences with the
United States are not that profound, and quite another for it to
air in a nation like India, where arranged marriages, the caste
system, and pervasive poverty are still everyday realities.
This title explores the dynamics of television, identity, and cultural communication, providing a new lens for encountering, interpreting, and judging American culture and the American identity.
