- Summary:
-
"The book covers a range of key debates about the politics and regulation of culture in general, and of the media as a key site of contemporary cultural practice. A range of theoretical issues are explored in questions of the public sphere and the politics of leisure. Three key arenas of contested regulation, posing very different issues of the formation and regulation of culture and media are discussed: sexuality, globalization and multiculturalism. Sexuality poses issues of control of representations, and of pornography and censorship. Globalization raises questions of national identity and cultural imperialism. Multiculturalism challenges existing models of cultural identity and citizenship. Through these three central cases, major contests around the public defining of culture, identity and difference are clarified."--Book jacket.
