Asian new media resources (inquiry)
Dear fellow AOIR, I'm formulating a syllabus for a summer course on Asian New Media. My particular interest is actually New Media in Southeast Asia, but for this class I'm widening the regional scope into East, South, and Southeast Asian New Media. So far I have collected materials from Routledge's edited collection *Asia.com: Asia encounters the Internet*, David Hill and Krishna Sen's *The internet in Indonesia's New Democracy*, Ravi Sundaram's *Pirate Modernity*, Amit S. Rai's *Untimely Bollywood*, and couple articles published by Berkman Center such as Mridul Chowdhury's article on Burma's Saffron Revolution and Mary Joyce's article on citizen journalism in South Korea. I feel that there so many other possible materials out there. So I thought that maybe people on this listserve could give me some suggestion about other texts that I should consider using. I include the course description of my summer course to give a clearer sense about what kind of class it is. Thanks in advance, izul This course explores “new media” in East, South, and Southeast Asia, where technological development and diffusion have evolved differently than in the “West.” How do new media influence or reflect notions of citizenship and personal liberty? How do their proliferations restructure and/or challenge social, cultural and political spaces? Case studies of media institutions, contemporary forms of public culture, and popular (e.g. Facebook), alternative (e.g. Videochronic), and artistic (e.g. A/S/L) media practices will illuminate the roles that new media play in transforming nations, cultures, and ethnic, race, class, and gender identities under the rubric of globalization. -- Iskandar Zulkarnain HASTAC Scholars 2010 Website: https://www.hastac.org/users/zhoel13<http://www.hastac.org/scholars> Co-Editors Invisible Culture An Electronic Journal for Visual Culture University of Rochester Website: http://www.rochester.edu/in_visible_culture/ Ph.D. Student Visual and Cultural Studies 424 Morey Hall University of Rochester Rochester, NY 14627
Izul, I'm using media-related readings from the following two books this semester. The first may be too dated for you, but probably worth a look. 1997. Trajectories: InterAsia Cultural Studies. London:Routledge. 2007. The InterAsia Cultural Studies Reader. London: Routledge. patrick.

Patrick, Thanks so much for the information. I also want to thank to the other members of this list who have pointed me out to various remarkable sources on new media in Asia. I am really grateful to know about them. It makes me more excited to teach the class. Best regards, izul On Fri, Oct 15, 2010 at 3:29 AM, Patrick Williams <subcultures@gmail.com>wrote:
