studies, media studies and Asian studies scholars. One example of this is how cultural research into the convergence of new media with everyday life, has brought into relief the growing significance of how struggles for freedom and justice are enabled by flows
of social media. Various communities and peoples are now enabled to make claims for social recognition within human rights frameworks and language.</span></span><br style="color:rgb(33,33,33); font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">

rights and justice. As a field it is connected to human rights discourse and praxis through its ethical foundations and 'activating knowledge' as Stuart Hall once put it. One of the essential motivations of cultural studies scholars is to focus on the struggles
evident in structures and institutions of power, representation, identity and subjectivity. This is undertaken with specific attention to power and its manifestation and negotiation in the cultural arena of everyday life.</span></span><br style="color:rgb(33,33,33); font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">

in compelling and innovative ways. They see agency, for example, as being implicated in the formation of moral, legal, political and ethical frameworks that are experienced in everyday lives, and which can be seen explicitly in the media. As cultural studies/human
rights scholar John Erni notes, 'cultural studies has long been attentive to the complex interpenetrations of power, agency, and the social imaginary.'</span></span><br style="color:rgb(33,33,33); font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">
