Toward a Transcultural Political Economy

摘要

Global communications have been a major focus of critical political economists studying media and communication for quite awhile. Indeed, one might argue that it is impossible to adequately study political economy without a global dimension, and certainly this has been one of the prevailing themes of work done in media/communication studies from this perspective since at least the 1960s.rnSo, why add 'transcultural' to 'global communications' in the title of this collection? Don't studies of globalization inherently involve more than one culture, and thus automatically become transcultural? Perhaps.
