About the Book:India after globalization is an increasingly mediatized society. Today, media experiences, desires, dream worlds, and fears have enveloped our time with force that was unimagined before. The blurring of the private and the public is now dramatically visible. The ‘power of media’ is a core explanatory category in public and academic common sense. No Limits charts the emergence of this mediatized world, and reflects on its wide-ranging consequences.The volume approaches this transformation of India from the prism of media studies. With essays authored by well-known scholars in the fields of cinema, television, radio, music, print, and the Internet, it presents a wide-ranging and fresh perspective on our media modernity. From media in the colonial era to contemporary experiences after globalization, it provides a long-term, comparative perspective to the present transformations. It maps new connections between old and new media, and sets up questions for addressing past and present.About the Author:Ravi Sundaram is Senior Fellow, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, Delhi, and co-initiator of the Sarai programme.
