The writing and discussion of this book reminds me of many other theoretical works on sound, voice and listening not mentioned in the book itself, including Canetti’s (1984) Crowd and Power, Erlmann’s (2014) Reason and Resonance, Ingold’s (2000) The Perception of the Environment, and various discussions of sound and affect in recent sounds studies scholarship. Overall, it is an easy, pleasant and intellectually stimulating book. It is, as stated in the Preface, intended for non-academic readership. If one is eager to find out how the author tackles the brilliant question of why people sing, one may feel a bit disappointed to find the question being squarely addressed only in the last chapter. As the author notes, the previous three chapters can be read as footnotes for Chapter 4. In a sense, Chapters 2 and 3 are still important; they provide a personal context (with engaging research stories and details) of the philosophical speculation on talk, singing and communication. If this book had been written 13 years ago and if I had read it then, I would have had more confidence to remain in communication studies with a more articulated defence for my proposed dissertation research on new music/sound culture as communication. After years of research in sound studies, reading this book gives me a feeling of déjà vu. All is meant to be.","PeriodicalId":45157,"journal":{"name":"Global Media and Communication","volume":"16 1","pages":"381 - 383"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1742766520973564","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49619201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Another missed chance comes at the end of the book, which does not finish with a concluding chapter. Perhaps a matter of taste for some scholars, but particularly in a textbook that seeks to break new ground, the lack of a concluding chapter is strongly felt. Finally, one wonders if there are not missed opportunities in focus. A fair amount of the book seems to go through the paces of highlighting company ownership and revenues, but it does not venture into the most significant contemporary issues connected with digital platforms, specifically anti-trust, platform wars and competition, relentless freedom of speech issues, etc. Comparing and contrasting ownership issues of digital platforms with “traditional” media companies could bear fruit for the field and bring it to the next level. Globalization and Media in the Digital Platform Age by Dal Yong Jin represents a more inclusive and realistic approach to a textbook for students of media globalization, global communication, and global media studies by including digital platforms in its scope. However welcome or controversial this may be, the basic template for textbooks in the area of media and globalization survives with this volume. If building on the bedrock of historical background and using quantitative approaches to describe the present—as it was, inevitably—then this title is a strong one. Perhaps the next step, however, is to break with the descriptive quantitative approach to global media, and more actively pursue the “convergence of political economy and cultural studies” that the author sees as being “especially crucial as several digital platforms, including Netflix and Facebook, act as content producer, distributor, and consumer at the same time” (p. 33).","PeriodicalId":45157,"journal":{"name":"Global Media and Communication","volume":"16 1","pages":"383 - 385"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1742766520973563","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47971248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the 2016 Candlelight Movement in South Korea as a case study, we attempt to understand how communication processes construct the sociocultural meanings of collective action. We argue that understanding a social movement requires comprehension of the communicative actions of the movement participants, either physically or symbolically engaged, through which they together make sense of the broad contexts and meanings of the movement as they actively pursue construction of the identities and themes of the collective action. Based on a communication perspective of social movements, we developed three research questions regarding the specific features of the collective action repertoire, collective identities and issue framing. Considering the extensive impact of media communication technologies in mobilising collective action in South Korea, especially mobile social networking platforms, we chose one of the most popular social network sites, Twitter, as the data source of communicative actions for the study. Content analysis and semantic network analysis was conducted with a sample of 1,779,902 tweets. Based on the analyses, we suggest that the collective action and identities both shape and are shaped by the communication networks of the movement participants as they interact with not only the counter-movement actors, but also the movement’s social, economic and cultural conditions.","PeriodicalId":45157,"journal":{"name":"Global Media and Communication","volume":"62 12","pages":"351 - 377"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1742766520951982","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41259602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wang","doi":"10.1177/1742766520944873","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/1742766520944873","url":null,"abstract":"Regardless of these valuable assets, there are a handful of issues that the book could have further developed. On the one hand, while the book suitably discusses the geopolitics surrounding early telecommunications technologies between the US and Europe, followed by the US and Latin America, it does not emphasize the significant relationships between the US and Asia other than intermittently discussing some historical facts, which remains a blind spot. On the other hand, it misses one key conceptual and theoretical framework, which is globalization. Although it discusses the importance of global communication with early telecommunications technologies, it does not provide any meaningful explanations about the notion of globalization. As this book convinces its readers to think about the globalization process that occurred in the early 20th century, it would be great to have had Zajácz’s notion of globalization, which would have strengthened the analyses in the book. Overall, Zajácz’s book is highly recommended for a wide range of readers who are interested in information policy, communication history and political economy. The analyses and discussions are extremely compelling, and the chapters are very informative and connected. Since the book offers insights into global communication by providing empirical detail and useful historical interpretations, it is presented as a welcome contribution to a growing body of literature on telecommunications studies, communication history, globalization and political economy.944857 GMC0010.1177/1742766520944857Global Media and CommunicationBook review","PeriodicalId":45157,"journal":{"name":"Global Media and Communication","volume":"16 1","pages":"266 - 268"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1742766520944873","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41336639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
