About the Book

This book, the first in a three-book series titled Communication Processes, is devoted to understanding the politics in, and of, communication. It explores both the ground on which processes of communication unfold and the political configurations implied in communication processes. This two-pronged approach questions the preoccupation in Indian scholarship with the ‘deployment’ of ‘communication’ as an interdisciplinary domain of enquiry. Like in the ensuing series, the editors of this book juxtapose a pluralist universe of conceptual articulations, theoretical constructs and empirical validations. Here, the aim is to raise two fundamental questions: -How fruitful is communication as a concept in yielding insights about the India of today, and that of yesterday and tomorrow? -What constitutes a critical research agenda in communication amidst the fissured reality of the Information Age? In addressing these questions, the contributors steer through, on the one hand, the modernization-inspired tradition of communication research in India- predominated by impact and reception studies – and, on the other, global trends that shaped the glut of fashionable writings – coincidental with and spurred by transnational television and the internet – during the 1990s. By rerouting the subject matter of communication, and re-installing the political therein, this series will be invaluable for students of communication, culture studies, sociology and journalism.
