color="#000000"><b>The debate over 'media/cultural imperialism' of
the west has become complicated in the last two decades by the
emergence of media technologies which allow messages and images, on
the one hand, to be instantly broadcast across the globe; and on the
other, to be produced relatively cheaply for narrow-casting to
sub-national groups both within and across national boundaries.
If the 20th century was the era of the nation being imagined in print
and broadcast media, then in the 21st century that imagination maybe
under challenge by new technologies that enable the imagination of new
politico-cultural topographies. The purpose of this conference
is to address the shape of national, local, ethnicised and gendered
identities being formulated by and in the media in Asia in the 21st
century.</b></font><br>
