Description

Product Description Social Inequalities, Media, and Communication: Theory and Roots provides a global analysis of the intersection of social inequalities, media, and communication. This book contains chapter contributions written by scholars from around the world who engage in country- and region-specific case studies of social inequalities in media and communication. The volume is a theoretical exploration of the classical, structuralist, culturalist, postmodernist, and postcolonial theoretical approaches to inequality and how these theoretical discourses provide critical understanding of social inequalities in relation to narratives shaped by media and communication experiences. The contributors provide class and gender analyses of media and culture, engage theoretical discourses of inequalities and capitalism in relation to communication technologies, and explore the cyclical relationship of theory and praxis in studying inequalities, media, and communication. Review If Thomas Piketty put inequality on the global agenda for academics and policy makers, then this collection puts it on the map for communication scholarship, policy research, and media activism. Combining a range of approaches to critical theory with rich case studies, Social Inequalities, Media, and Communication shines a bright light on one of the world's most critical problems.--Vincent Mosco, Professor Emeritus, Queen's University, Canada Social Inequalities, Media, and Communication: Theory and Roots offers a different approach to the field of media and communication research. The thematic area as such is well known and frequently studied, but this anthology brings in a new bouquet of fresh international researchers. It also provides new frameworks for such well-studied concepts as the North/South contradiction, digital divide, and sustainable development. The chapters are based on historical roots and postcolonial theories, but they also present case studies on class, race, gender, and communication technology, frequently challenging conventional categories of theory and praxis.--Ullamaija Kivikuru, University of Helsinki About the Author Ruth Sanz Sabido is Reader in in Media and Social Inequality at Canterbury Christ Church University.
