Publisher's Synopsis
The contributions to this volume offer a series of engagements with both the workings of particular media and the new inflections of politicized identities - ethnicity, gender, nationality, and disability - in which media are irrevocably implicated. The chapters provide new insights into ""old"" issues of identity and image, both by their choice of subject focus and by their tools and methods of exploration and analysis. All the contributors break new ground in their particular domains by their emphasis on aspects of media and identity that have not been fully explored elsewhere.
