Asian Video Cultures by Joshua Neves
The contributors to this volume examine Asian video cultures-from video platforms in Indonesia to amateur music videos in India-in the context of social movements, market economies, and local popular cultures, showing how Asian video practices are central to shaping contemporary experiences and mainstream global media.
Asian Video Cultures addresses a glaring omission in contemporary Western film and media scholarship in such a rich and imaginative way that it will give the book lasting significance as a fundamental reference across media studiesFeaturing rich, thought-provoking essays and a major, agenda-setting introduction, this is a milestone collection. -- Meaghan Morris, coeditor of Gender, Media, and Modernity in the Asia-Pacific Asian Video Cultures addresses the continent as an always-emerging formation, rather than just a region. By doing so, it is able to mount a series of powerful, ethnographically grounded theoretical provocations on contemporary media culture. We revisit ideas of participation and the public, the status of mediation in the bioinformatic world, globalization, and work. This outstanding collection helps us put into perspective the overly North American debate on digital media. -- Ravi Sundaram, author of Pirate Modernity: Delhi's Media Urbanism
