Reviews / Votes
"Cosmopolitanism and the Media: Cartographies of Change explores the impact of mainstream media, in particular, digital media, on people's cosmopolitan worldviews and social practices and, vice versa: how cosmopolitan practices are connected to media framing. . The book provides a nice balance of the relationship between mediatized cosmopolitan life-worlds and forces of surveillance, control and mobility, etc." (Weiwu Zhang, CBQ Communication Booknotes Quarterly, Vol.47, January-March, 2016)
