[Air-L] Asian new media resources (inquiry)

[iskandar zulkarnain]

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.
