About the Book

This special volume of Emerald Studies in Media and Communications is entitled Media and Power in International Contexts: Perspectives on Agency and Identity. Scholars of communication, media studies, sociology, and cultural studies come together to examine axioms of power at play across different forms of cultural production. Contributing to these fields, the volume highlights the value of interdisciplinary work and international perspectives to enrich our understandings of agency and identity vis-a-vis key case studies of media consumption and production.  International contributions shed new light on the complex ways in which media reinforce and reflect power in different societal and national arenas. The result is a rich interdisciplinary and multi-method exploration of how power is conceptualized and realized through a variety of hegemonic and discursive practices. The authors’ analysis of critical case studies makes important progress towards closing theoretical gaps concerning the study of the complex relationships between media and gender, race, ethnicity, and national identity. In so doing, the volume contributes phenomenological and epistemic knowledge of media and power across disciplines and societal contexts.

Review :
This volume compiles seven essays by media studies, sociology, cultural studies, and communication researchers from India, Norway, and the US, who examine media and power in different forms of cultural production. They discuss discourse and representations of activism in news media as significant forms of power; hegemonic media cultural logics that limit agency for people of color, using the example of the arrest of Henry Louis Gates; how media consumption mediates parent-child relationships in Chinese immigrant families; the adoption of Facebook in developing countries; the relationship between media, identity, religion, and power in the context of middle-class Catholic women in India; audience interpretations of Sofia Vergara's portrayal of Gloria Pritchett in Modern Family in terms of stereotypes; and how identity markers are manifested when Norwegian immigrant youth play video games.
