The Anthropology of Media: A Reader

by Kelly Michelle Askew (Editor), Richard R. Wilk

The Anthropology of A Reader offers a critical overview of how mass media represents and constructs both Western and non-Western cultures. Moving beyond earlier anthropological preoccupation with ethnographic film and drawing on the recent explosion of creative studies of culture and media, this volume heralds the emergence of a new field – the anthropology of media – and brings its key literature together for the first time.
