Summary: Media Cultures challenges the elitism and cultural pessimism of much Anglo-American and Continental cultural debate with regard to the role and power of transnational media practices. In a series of ten innovative essays, an international group of media researchers explores a wide range of cultural practices across national borders and the cultural politics associated with these everyday practices and debates. Their subjects, ranging from the complex phenomenon of Americanisation, "Syndicated Wheels of Fortune" and the multichannel universe, to cult film and the TV fiction of Dennis Potter, provide an innovative response to the all-important question of reconceptualising the theory and practice of transnational media cultures.
