The
emergence of disciplines like Media Studies and Cultural Studies has initiated
critical debates on the way media represent popular culture. The politics and
poetics of media intervention in the sphere of culture, when looked at from a
critical vantage point seem very problematic. The omissions, distortions, and
sometimes even blatant misrepresentations in the media space have come under
scanner.
In the last couple of decades, the agenda of mainstream media is increasingly
set by the New Media. Social Media is no more an inferior other, but an equal
stake holder. The tools of new media have metamorphosed the otherwise passive
consumers of news to actual producers of news. The possibility of instant
circulation and critical intervention makes social media space a potent force
in the contemporary times. Social media is a site where print, mass, and online
media converge.
In
the contemporary global context, media space is witnessing radical
transformations. On the one hand there is the corporatization of media, and on
the other hand there is the emergence of alternative media. Media has emerged
as a site of critical intervention, but attempts are made to curtail the
freedom of expression and to curb the freedom of the press.
The
main objective of this seminar is to problematize and interrogate such critical
issues. The political, sociological, and cultural dimensions of these issues
are pertinent in these troubled times. The seminar aims to bring together media
persons, cultural activists, and academicians so as to initiate more meaningful
explorations of the linkages between popular culture and contemporary media.
