Global Media Giants
Global Media Giants takes an in-depth look at how media corporate power works globally, regionally, and nationally, investigating the ways in which the largest and most powerful media corporations in the world wield power. Case studies examine not only some of the largest media corporations (News Corp., The Microsoft Corporation) in terms of revenues, but also media corporations that hold considerable power within national, regional, or geolinguistic contexts (Televisa, The Bertelsmann Group, Sony Corporation). Each chapter approaches a different corporation through the lens of economy, politics, and culture, giving students and scholars a thoughtful and data-driven guide with which to interrogate contemporary media industry power.
Competing Memories of Enslavement, Emancipation and Indentureship
Competing Memories focuses on the politics of remembering enslavement, emancipation and indentureship in Caribbean contexts. The contributions explore constructions and representations of plural and divergent memories across academic disciplines. As understandings of ‘history’ and ‘memory’ may vary, the volume addresses the different and strategic ways these concepts are used within and in relation to the Caribbean. It highlights how historical narratives and cultures of memory are implemented, removed, contested and remodeled in monuments, art, historical archives, literature, film and other kinds of representation all over the Caribbean, its diasporas and in former colonizing countries. With its focus on cultural memory studies, it provides new impulses to slavery and dependency studies. It also contributes to a global debate aimed at gaining a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics of memory formation in the context of colonial violence and trauma. It invites readers to reflect on the power dynamics involved in the processes of remembering, forgetting, memorizing, recollecting and commemorating.
Geography of World Pilgrimages
This book points out how pilgrimage studies rely on interdisciplinary academic interests, being always more determined by anthropological, social, cultural and economic factors. The volume gathers interdisciplinary contributions revealing different approaches and academic interests when researching pilgrimage. Finally, the proposal introduces a comparative international breath to reflect upon such complex phenomenon that since Antiquity still impregnates the history of human being across the world. As pilgrimage studies are closely related to mobility issues, how the contemporary mobile world is altering and re-signifying pilgrimage dynamics and meanings will also be discussed in detail. The term “pilgrimage” evokes key concepts deriving from different fields, all of them collected in the final glossary. The primary audience of this work are academics and researchers from different fields involved in pilgrimage studies. The work may also be useful in teaching (advanced) university courses.
