| Synopsis: |
This second edition of a widely acclaimed collection of essays reports on how new media - fax machines, satellite television, and the Internet - and the new uses of older media - cassettes, pulp fiction, the cinema, the telephone, and the press - shape belief, authority, and community in the Muslim world. The chapters in this work, including new chapters dealing specifically with events after September 11, 2001, concern Indonesia, Bangladesh, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, the Arabian Peninsula, and Muslim communities in the United States and elsewhere."New Media in the Muslim World" suggests new ways of looking at the social organization of communications and the shifting links among media of various kinds in local and transnational contexts. The extent to which today's new media have transcended local and state frontiers and have reshaped understanding of gender, authority, social justice, identities, and politics in Muslim societies emerges from this timely and provocative book. Dale F.Eickelman, Ralph and Richard Lazarus Professor of Anthropology and Human Relations at Dartmouth College, is author of "The Middle East and Central Asia: An Anthropological Approach and Muslim Politics" (coauthored with James Piscatori).Jon W. Anderson, Professor and chair of Anthropology at The Catholic University of America and co-director of the Arab Information Project at Georgetown University, is author of "Arabizing the Internet". |
