Rhetoric about media technology tends to fall into two extreme categories: unequivocal celebration or blanket condemnation. This is particularly true in debate over the clash of values when first world media infiltrate third world audiences. Bringing together the best new work on contemporary media practices, technologies, and policies, the essayists in Global Currents argue that neither of these extreme views accurately represents the role of media technology today. New ways of thinking about film, television, music, and the internet demonstrate that it is not only media technologies that affect the cultures into which they are introduced—it is just as likely that the receiving culture will change the media. Topics covered in the volume include copyright law and surveillance technology, cyber activism in the African Diaspora, transnational monopolies and local television industries, the marketing and consumption of “global music,” “click politics” and the war on Afghanistan, the techno-politics of distance education, artificial intelligence and global legal institutions, and traveling and “squatting” in digital space. Balanced between major theoretical positions and original field research, the selections address the political and cultural meanings that surround and configure new technologies.

Media brings us many things. But of all the things that media exposes us to, by far the most prevalent is other people. The vast majority of media content revolves around the human world, human experience, and human behaviour. Whether these humans that we are invited to examine via the media are real or fictional doesn’t often matter. We watch, we judge, and we learn by witnessing through media the actions of people who we never have met personally, and most likely never will. This volume examines two important aspects of this media personascape, which at first glance may appear far removed from one another: celebrities and war films. Both these areas nonetheless share a focus on how humans behave in extreme situations, and how media consumers judge them and learn from them. Readers will attain a new appreciation of the importance of the persona across multiple media formats.

Humans are woven with technology; since their inception in myth, tools – things ready to hand for use – have been what defines us. Understood prosthetically, they are extensions of our physiological and sensory apparatus. Our most basic relationship with the world is thus a technological one. Rather than simply an array of instrumental equipment that enables the creation of end products, technology sets our skills, our understanding, and our action in relation to each other through the sense of productivity, and it is here that technology and organization are intertwined. This handbook will explore the largely unchartered territory of media, technology, and organization studies, and interrogate their foundational relations, their forms, and their consequences. The arrival of digital media technologies - the organizational powers that move people, data, and things – and their subsequent influence on the styles and forms of organizing highlights the need to survey the very technological materials and objects that enable and shape organization, and those that are enabled and shaped by organizational processes in return. To do so, each chapter focuses on a specific mediating, technological object, such as the Clock, High Heels, the Pen or the Smartphone, asking the question: How does this object or process organize? Rather than being a chapter ‘on’ an object in isolation, the chapters consider how we might think about their resonance in the way we have, and continue to, create organizational form.

A new book by Dave Morley, one of the leading authors on the media list. This new book aims to intervene in some of the key debates in the field of media and cultural studies. It is structured into thematic sections addressing questions of postmodernity and postcoloniality; issues for, and the future of, media and cultural studies; theory and methodology; and television as an object of study, and technology. It is quite a wide-ranging collection but the main attraction is the author who is widely published. 8 of the 15 chapters have been published before and 7 will be completely new to this book.
