It argues for the centrality of the media to Asian transformations in  the era of globalization. The profusion of the media today, with new  imaginations, new choices and contradictions, generates a critical  condition for reflexivity engaging everyday people to have a resource  for the learning of self, culture and society in a new light. Media  culture is creating new connections, new desires and threats, and the  identities of people are being reworked at individual, national,  regional and global levels. Within historically specific social  conditions and contexts of the everyday, the chapters seek to provide a  diversity of experiences and understandings of the place of the media in  different Asian locations. This book considers the emerging  consequences of media consumption in people&amp;rsquo;s everyday life at a time  when the political, socio-economic and cultural forces by which the  media operate are rapidly globalizing in Asia.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
