This book presents the Cultural Transduction framework as a
conceptual tool to understand the processes that media and cultural
products undergo when they cross cultural and national borders.
Using a series of examples from pop culture, including films,
television series, videogames, memes and other digital products,
this book provides the reader with a wider understanding of the
procedures, interests, roles, assumptions and challenges, which
foster or hinder the travels of media and cultural products.
Compiling in one single narrative a series of case studies,
theoretical debates and international examples, the book looks at a
number of exchanges and transformations enabled by both traditional
media trade and the internet. It reflects on the increase of
cultural products crossing over regional, national and
international borders in the form of videogames and TV formats,
through music and video distribution platforms or via digital
social media networks, to highlight discussions about the
characteristics of border-crossing digital production. The cultural
transduction framework is developed from discussions in
communication and media studies, as well as from debates in
adaptation and translation studies, to map out the travels of media
and cultural products from an interdisciplinary perspective. It
provides a tool to analyse the markets, products, people and
processes that enable or constrain the movement of products across
borders, for those interested in the practical aspects that
underlie the negotiation and transformation of products inserted
into different cultural market settings. This volume provides a new
framework for understanding the travels of cultural products, which
will be of use to students and scholars in the area of media
industry studies, business studies, digital media studies,
international media law and economics.

communication. Contributors bring together research from
often-overlooked parts of the world to engage in dialogue towards
an understanding of the similarities and differences between issues
of language and development in the Global South, presenting cases
as a starting point for further research and discussions about
indigenous language and development communication in Latin America,
Africa, and Asia. Scholars of communication, sociology,
linguistics, and development studies will find this book of

Indigenous Language for Social Change Communication in the Global
South brings together voices from the margins to engage in dialogue
about common social change issues in Latin America, Africa, and
Asia. This book argues that resistance and social movements,
expressed in music and songs and exchanged via radio, remain
fundamental to ensure that the linguistic and cultural diversity of
the world progresses despite colonizing pressures. Contributors
present cases that explore how indigenous communities use mediums
such as the radio to help support their language, identity, and
expand their own social change. Highlighting the centrality of
music in the development of political discussions and language as a
central part of collective identity, contributors analyze how these
mediums function as both a vessel and a link for information and
cultural cohesion of those engaging in social change. Scholars of
communication, sociology, and development studies will find this
book of particular interest.
