The emergence of disciplines like Media Studies and Cultural Studies has initiated critical debates on the way media represent popular culture. The politics and poetics of media intervention in the sphere of culture, when looked at from a critical vantage point seem very problematic. The omissions, distortions, and sometimes even blatant misrepresentations in the media space have come under scanner.
In the last couple of decades, the agenda of mainstream media is increasingly set by the New Media. Social Media is no more an inferior other, but an equal stake holder. The tools of new media have metamorphosed the otherwise passive consumers of news to actual producers of news. The possibility of instant circulation and critical intervention makes social media space a potent force in the contemporary times. Social media is a site where print, mass, and online media converge.
In the contemporary global context, media space is witnessing radical transformations. On the one hand there is the corporatization of media, and on the other hand there is the emergence of alternative media. Media has emerged as a site of critical intervention, but attempts are made to curtail the freedom of expression and to curb the freedom of the press.
The main objective of this seminar is to problematize and interrogate such critical issues. The political, sociological, and cultural dimensions of these issues are pertinent in these troubled times. The seminar aims to bring together media persons, cultural activists, and academicians so as to initiate more meaningful explorations of the linkages between popular culture and contemporary media.
