Paradigm Loss: Frameworks for Global Media Analysis

摘要

Studying communication media increasingly entails studying communication in its international contexts. As the processes of globalization influence what was once a national space, we are compelled to address empirically the "local" in its relation to the "global." And as the theoretical components of globalization become a framework for analysis of communication media, our concepts need to account for the changing character of the "social." We need more robust theoretical and empirical tools to explain these dynamics.
