Telemodernities

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the rise of lifestyle-oriented television in Asia, this book explores how programs like yoga shows and dating competitions reflect and shape modern identities and social dynamics. By examining the intersection of media culture with public and private life, the authors analyze the influence of these shows on concepts of citizenship and social engagement. Through interviews with industry professionals and audiences in China, India, Taiwan, and Singapore, the work provides a nuanced understanding of contemporary capitalist modernity in the region.
