Beskrivning
This seminal volume examines how Asian heritage, social traditions, and evolving identities are presented globally through new media and digital technologies, while also connecting the Asian diaspora with their homeland and culture across borders.Featuring contributions from across the region, the book demonstrates that diasporic cultures are deeply intertwined with media and popular culture, with diasporas using media not only to maintain cultural ties, but also to create new forms of expression and navigate their identities in new environments. Performing arts, music, and popular culture serve as important cultural markers for diasporic communities, allowing them to express their identity and maintain a sense of belonging. The chapters critically examine the role of media and popular culture in the challenging of stereotypes, the preserving of cultures, and the shaping of identities within Asian diasporas, and do so through six thematically divided sections:· Media and the Shaping of Asian Diaspora· Intersection of Gender and Politics in Digital Media· Theatre, Folklore and Diasporic Performance· Film, Television and Diasporic Imagination· Music, Dance and Transnational Identity· Media, Popular Culture and LiteratureContributing to the growing field of diaspora and transnational studies, this handbook will serve as an essential reference for postgraduate students and scholars across the social sciences and humanities studying diaspora and migration studies, cultural studies, Asian diaspora studies, media studies, and popular culture.
