The Asian Media and Cultural Studies network is transdisciplinary, drawing on scholars from across the arts, social science and humanities disciplines and who work in both national and transnational Asian contexts.
The network will explore Asian media and cultural studies from the ‘inside out’, reversing previous core-periphery binaries. It will undertake comparative and cross-cultural work, particularly in the areas of digital media production, youth cultures, national and regional identities, and cultures of fame.
The Asian Media and Cultural Studies Network is an initiative of Deakin University with partners from Tsinghua and Wuhan Universities in China, Shanghai University, Hong Kong Baptist University, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, Osaka City University in Japan, and the University of Hyderabad, India, amongst others.
