(Times Higher Education Supplement, 4 November 2010) \u003cb\u003eEugenia Siapera\u003c\/b\u003e is lecturer in Media and Communications at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. She is the author (with Lincoln Dahlberg) of \u003ci\u003eRadical Democracy and the Internet\u003c\/i\u003e (2007) and (with Joss Hands) \u003ci\u003eAt the Interface\u003c\/i\u003e (2004).  \u003ci\u003eCultural Diversity and Global Media\u003c\/i\u003e explores the relationship between the media and multiculturalism. Maintaining that the media actively shapes and constructs understandings of cultural difference, rather than reflecting debates on cultural diversity, Siapera argues that we must look to the media in order to understand cultural diversity and its position in society.   \u003cp\u003eThrough a thorough analysis of the complexity of the media, Siapera examines the processes of production, representation and consumption of mediated cultural diversity, including the changes in the media landscape introduced by the internet. Moving toward a more holistic understanding of the media and their embeddedness in society, politics and culture, \u003ci\u003eCultural Diversity and Global Media\u003c\/i\u003e constitutes an interrogation of mediated cultural difference.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989012398309,"sku":"NP9781405180467","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405180467.jpg?v=1761782427","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/cultural-diversity-and-global-media-isbn-9781405180467","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
