Globalisation, East Asian media cultures and their publics<BR>
</B> <BR>
<B>Abstract:</B> 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. <BR>
