Opis

Adopting a transversal south-south approach to the study of screen culture in the Global South, Southern Screens examines the conditions by which new and traditional media forms participate in the generation, sharing, and circulation of new knowledge that is both southern and about the global South. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Arts: South-North Cultural and Media Studies.
