Northern Lights - Film and Media Studies Yearbook, Vol. 2: Northern lights Media in a globalized society Stig Hjarvard 1.º edición

This year's volume of Northern Lights originates from the research programme Global Media Cultures. It is concerned with the ways in which media take part in processes of globalization, including how they challenge
existing cultures and create new and alternative symbolic and cultural environments. The volume addresses these questions through theoretical discussions and reexamination of existing international research and through a series of individual empirical studies covering global media phenomenons like the Olympics, the talk show, international beauty contests, satellite television, and media discourses on national culture.
