Globalisation, East Asian media cultures and their publics
 
Abstract: In the last two decades, media cultural production and regional
media co-production, circulation and consumption in East Asia have been
extensively developed. This paper will critically revisit the rise of East
Asian media culture production and connection in terms of de-Westernisation,
de-Asianisation and de-nationalisation, and reconsider the significance of
studying media cultures in East Asia now.
