Hollywood’s transnational imaginaries: Colonial agency and vision from Indiana Jones to World War Z
The concept of transnational cinema, in increasing use over the last decade, remains one whose sense and significance in the context of production, thematic organization and reception remains fuzzy, eliciting similar debates as the concept of globalization more generally did before it. The paper attempts to re-specify what the concept of the transnational could mean for film and to locate in the process some distinct variants or modalities of the…

Internationalizing media studies: A view from the Arab world
here impels a close scrutiny of the mediations that work to enable, produce, manipulate, utilize and sanitize the ongoing human(-made) disasters in this region. It compels us to inquire into the role of the media, and thus to interrogate the work and relevance of media scholarship for these processes.

Communication and consequence
Media, power and performativity
The contemporary moment is one of profound risk, and profound import. We have come to live in a unipolar world, where one remaining superpower has the capacity to wield enormous wealth and military force simultaneously, and to penetrate the material and symbolic spaces of the greater part of the globe, without as yet effective challenge.

Letters from the Palestinian Ghetto 8-13th March 2002
The principle of non-simultaneity. It is wonderful to hear children laugh down the stairs of our building.

It was within sociology (as distinct from economics, political science, or psyc…
