Or, are we headed for clashes between center and periphery, imperial and subaltern, Western and non-Western, First and Third World? The interdisciplinary essays in Beyond Globalization present us with another possibility?that new media will lead to new kinds of ?worldmaking.? This provocative volume brings together the best new work of scholars within such diverse fields as history, sociology, anthropology, film, media studies, and art. Whether examining the inauguration of a virtual community on the website Second Life or investigating the appropriation of biotechnology for transgenic art, this collection highlights how mediated practices have become integral to global culture; how social practices have emerged out of computer-related industries; how contemporary apocalyptic narratives reflect the anxieties of a U.S. culture facing global challenges; and how design, play, and technology help us understand the histories and ideals behind the digital architectures that mediate our everyday actions. 410 0$aNew directions in international studies. 606 $aMass media and culture 606 $aMass media and globalization 606 $aMass media$xSocial aspects 606 $aMass media$xPolitical aspects 606 $aMass media and art 606 $aGlobalization$xSocial aspects 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) and mass media 615 0$aMass media and culture. 615 0$aMass media and globalization. 615 0$aMass media$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aMass media$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aMass media and art. 615 0$aGlobalization$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) and mass media. 676 $a302.23 701 $aAneesh$b A$g(Aneesh),$f1964-$01479382 701 $aHall$b Lane$f1955-$01479383 701 $aPetro$b Patrice$f1957-$0561175 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790148703321 996 $aBeyond globalization$93695473 997 $aUNINA
