Popular Culture, Geopolitics, and Identity
About this book
Now in a thoroughly revised edition, this innovative and engaging text surveys the field of popular geopolitics, exploring the relationship between popular culture and international relations from a geographical perspective. Jason Dittmer and Daniel Bos connect global issues with the questions of identity and subjectivity that we feel as individuals, arguing that who we think we are influences how we understand the world.
Building on the strengths of the first edition, each chapter focuses on a specific themeâsuch as representation, audience, and affectâby explaining the concept and then outlining some of the emerging debates that have revolved around it. New and updated case studiesâincluding heritage and social mediaâhelp illustrate the significance of the concepts and capture the ways popular culture shapes our understandings of geopolitics within everyday life. Students will enjoy the text's accessibility and colorful examples, and instructors will appreciate the way the book brings together a diverse, multidisciplinary literature and makes it understandable and relevant.
