Cultural Diversity and Global Media: The Mediation of Difference
Search in google:
Cultural Diversity and Global Media explores the relationship between the media and multiculturalism. Maintaining that the media actively shapes and constructs understandings of cultural difference, rather than reflecting debates on cultural diversity, Siapera argues that we must look to the media in order to understand cultural diversity and its position in society. Through a thorough analysis of the complexity of the media, Siapera examines the processes of production, representation and consumption of mediated cultural diversity, including the changes in the media landscape introduced by the internet. Moving toward a more holistic understanding of the media and their embeddedness in society, politics and culture, Cultural Diversity and Global Media constitutes an interrogation of mediated cultural difference.
