When postcolonial studies meets media studies

Abstract: 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 liter… Show more

“…The sources of mediation can be very varied a material tool, a system of symbols, the behaviour of another human being, but these interactions always occur in defined institutional frameworks: family, school, work (Grusec & Hastings, 2014). This approach allows us to analyze and deepen from alternative perspectives the incidence of the media (Shome, 2016).…”

“…People in modern society have media soaked atmosphere in which distinction among the media-reality and reality has become increasingly unclear (Winch, Littler & Keller, 2016).

“…Globalization is to some degree a positivist concept that ideologically disguises the neo-imperialist nature of global capitalism (Harvey, 2003), a circumstance that has been addressed in critical globalization studies (Appelbaum & Robinson, 2005). In the communication field, international and global studies became much more important as research topics shift more from the West to the rest; as non-Eurocentric approaches, methods, and theories become more widely known; and as non-Western scholars receive more visibility (Curran & Park, 2000;Thussu, 2009;Shome, 2016;Waisbord & Mellado, 2014).…”
