Research output: Chapter in book/report/conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter explores how media globalization has impacted upon cultural production and practices in a transnational context. The chapter discusses how South-South and increasingly, South-North cultural flows are challenging US cultural hegemony. It also explores the complexities of production and consumption of audio-visual media emanating from Bollywood, the world’s largest film industry. As a Southern production, Bollywood defies the US cultural hegemony, but as a mass phenomenon it produces its own version of hegemony.
