Signal and Noise – Media, Infrastructure, and Urban Culture in Nigeria de Brian Larkin

Signal and Noise – Media, Infrastructure, and Urban Culture in Nigeria: A John Hope Franklin Center Book

Autor Brian Larkin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 mar 2008

Mainstream media and film theory are based on the ways that media technologies operate in Europe and the United States. This work provides a history and ethnography of media in Nigeria, asking what media theory looks like when Nigeria rather than a European nation or the United States is taken as the starting point.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

"This eagerly anticipated book is a wonderful contribution to several fields: media studies, cultural studies, African studies, anthropology, and analyses of globalization. Brian Larkin writes with eloquence and passion, and he compels us to rethink our assumptions about the work of transnational media and the formation of identity."--Purnima Mankekar, author of "Screening Culture, Viewing Politics: An Ethnography of Television, Womanhood, and Nation in Postcolonial India"
