Beskrivning
Examining how media industries actively shape, and are shaped by, attachments to place and movements across geographical spaces, Locating Media Industries illuminates the many spatial dimensions of ‘globalised’ media.In an era where music, video and games can be streamed instantly around the world on numerous digital devices, and films and television series are produced across numerous countries, often featuring globetrotting characters in an array of exotic settings, it is easy to forget that media industries retain any attachments to space or place. While globalised production, distribution and consumption systems structure contemporary media industries, this collection seeks to document and analyse the many ways in which questions of space and place still matter to those industries.Written by leading scholars in the field, this international collection explores how media industries both occupy and generate spaces and places. Here, spatial dynamics are represented by the formation of global production networks, the impacts of virtual production technologies, media engagements with local communities, questions of accessible participation in film festivals, and the franchising of space at media-themed leisure attractions. Several of the book’s chapters reflect the increasing dominance of streaming media, which also have complex relationships to place and space, even as they actively seek to obscure and even erase these aspects of the media they distribute and, in some cases, produce.This volume is essential reading for students and scholars of film, media and/or creative industries.

Recensioner i media

“Questions of space and place have long fascinated cultural theorists. Locating Media Industries draws on this rich intellectual history to reboot media geography for the platform age. With case studies from across Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America, this essential book explores the nuanced ways in which media institutions 'make and manage' space.” - Ramon Lobato, Swinburne University of Technology, author of Netflix Nations“While the relation between place and media previously have been studied and reflected in different ways, both regarding sites of production, place representation and local colour, this volume brings new and important aspects to the field by looking at how the streaming industries challenge the idea of place and space in media production and as such increase the importance of understanding how ‘media industries produce place and space, and how place and space produce media industries’.”- Anne Marit Risum Waade, Professor in Global Media Industries, Aarhus University
