Outlines the new critical perspectives in media studies in and about Asia within the current debates about globalization.

Covers the key areas of research in Asian media studies, from textual reading, through policy studies, to audience/reception studies.
Features engaging examples, including Singapore TV news and advertising, Hong Kong nostalgia, sexuality in Malaysian film, VCD technology, and queer communities in Taiwan.
Explores media globalization in Singapore, Malaysia, India, Hong Kong, China, and Japan.
Contributors are from a younger generation of Asian-born scholars of different backgrounds (indigenous, subaltern, diasporic, and others), who make up the “second wave” of critical Asian media studies.
