Book discussion of ‘Media and the Constitution of the Political: South Asia and Beyond’ by Ravi Vasudevan
Book discussion of Media and the Constitution of the Political: South Asia and Beyond by Ravi Vasudevan published in the ICAS:MP –SAGE Open Access series ‘Politics and Society in India and the Global South’.
About the book:
This volume features the writings of leading media scholars from South Asia and Europe on the topic of how media articulates political energies and transformational logics. The research traverses the press, newsreels, entertainment cinema, photography, television, music, social media and data-driven politics. The authors consider how media industries, institutions and practices constitute sites where conflicts relating to wider social change are observable. Authors address media materiality and aesthetics in tracking political effects and resonances on subjects such as wire photo transfers, film set design, the formal structures of the newsreel, the role of television audience surveys, the relationship between digital and paper records, the place of media in courts of law and the phenomenon of the media trial. The overall approach in understanding media and the political is not only to access formal institutions, both of media and politics but also to expand perspective to trace the wider dispersed appearance of the political in and through media.
