InterMedia in South Asia The Fourth Screen
The emergence of new media today in South Asia has signalled an event the meaning of which remains obscure but whose reality is rapidly evolving along gradients of intensity and experience. Contemporary media in and from South Asia have come to sense a new arrangement of value sensation and force - new forms of becoming that might be usefully termed as 'media ecologies'. This evolution from nation-based forms of communication (Doordarshan All India Radio the national feudal romance) to simultaneous global ones conform and mutate the structures of feeling of local national diasporic and transnational belonging. This collection of original essays is concerned with understanding how people are making meaning from the new media and how subaltern tinkering (pirating peer to peer file sharing hacking noise jamming indymedia etc. ) does things to and in the new media. This exciting works helps us to make sense of the creation of new publics new affects and new experiences of pleasure and value in convergences of intermedia in a fast developing South Asia context. This book was originally published as a special issue of South Asian Popular Culture. | InterMedia in South Asia The Fourth Screen
