"The Handbook of Media and Culture in the Middle East is a comprehensive trans-regional examination of and engagement with the lively, varied and transforming cultural practices and media production, distribution and consumption that are shaping the region. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to media and culture in the Middle East and brings together internationally recognised scholars from around the world. The collection offers fresh insights on old debates and opens new vistas for emerging questions particularly those concerned with youth, minorities and women in the region, and the ongoing interest in the socio-cultural, political and economic aspects. The contributors from various disciplines assess the past, present and the struggle for the future of media and cultural resources, forms of organisations and expressions, as well as media producers and users"-- |
