“…Curran & Park were convinced this predisposition had to be broken since they observed how always rich Western societies were producing theory around media and society. In this sense, Featherstone (2013) includes a new argument in the discussion pointing how during the 1990s postcolonial studies did not give attention to popular culture "[a]nd more recent reassessments have generally maintained this inattention" (p. 2).

This essay addresses (1) how postcolonial studies might inform and enrich media studies, especially as the latter is situated in the Communication discipline, and (2) how media studies may productively expand the terrain postcolonial studies, that thus far has been dominated by the fields of Literature and Comparative Literature. Focusing on, and challenging, issues such as the North Atlantic temporal logics that inform the received history of media studies, as well as contesting the narrow boundaries of literary studies for engaging in contemporary postcolonial media/ted cultures, this essay attempts to argue for the importance of postcolonial media studies.
