Circuits of Visibility – Gender and Transnational Media Cultures: Critical Cultural Communication

Autor Radha S. Hegde
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 iul 2011
Circuits of Visibility explores transnational media environments as a way to understand the gendered constructions and contradictions that support globalization, with special emphasis on women and a global feminist perspective. Exploring the ways in which gendered subjects are produced and defined in globally networked, media saturated environments, Circuits of Visibility presents sixteen essays that collectively promote discussion about sexual politics, mediated environments and globalization.Covering television, the internet, newspaper studies, and movement-oriented media work, the volume explores the ways in which gender and sexuality issues are constructed and mobilized across the world. Contributors’ essays cover a diverse amount of countries, from Myanmar and Morocco to the Balkans, France, U.S., and China, and feature topics ranging from violence against women and anti-violence activism to political power deriving from representations of being single or married. Circuits of Visibility initiates a necessary conversation and political critique about the mediated global terrain on which sexuality is defined, performed, regulated, made visible, and experienced.

Recenzii

"This wide-ranging collection of essays should be of considerable interest to scholars of media, globalization and gender. It combines acute ethnographic reportage and a strong theoretical sense of the political economy of gendered images and in today’s global media formations.” Arjun Appadurai, New York University

"An extraordinary collection of original approaches to familiar and unfamiliar issues about gendering and globalization. Each chapter gives us an unusual empirical study, charged with a sense of discovery. And each chapter gives us a type of theorizing that makes visible what is otherwise hidden." Saskia Sassen, Columbia University

"Hegde's ambitious and well-crafted introduction outlines the ways in which sexuality and gender are entangled in transnational configurations such as celebrity, immigration, activism, religion, fashion and war." -Nitin Govil, International Journal of Communication

“Appropriately for its title, Circuits of Visibility is an eye-opening read for anyone who studies gender and the media. The global perspectives in this edited volume work cohesively to demonstrate the interconnectedness of sexual politics, transnational ideologies, and cultural practices. The book makes an important contribution to intersectional feminist scholarship by expanding the analysis to include issues of transnationalism and globalization. Indeed, scholars who read the volume will likely be motivated to reconsider their own work through a transnational lensCircuits of Visibility provides many concrete case studies that would be useful to instructors who teach courses related to gender, globalization, ethnicity, and the media overall the volume is of exceptional quality. It is a must-read for anyone interested in intersectional feminist analysis or globalization.” - Tracy Lucht, Iowa State University, Jhistory
