"Sex tourism on the internet is at the confluence of issues of race, gender, sexuality, technology and globalization. Increasingly, information and communication technologies (ICTs), such as the internet, are playing a particularly significant role not only in the promotion and packaging of sex tour

ism but of a new type of global surveillance of bodies, race and desire (Gabriel, 1998, 2000; Ware and Back, 2002). Cyberspace enables sex tourists to build deeper connections between the racialization, sexualization and commodification of sex workers' bodies and Western masculinity. Like chat rooms (Travers, 2000), MUDs (Turkle, 1995) and MOOs (White, 2002), sex tourists use discussion boards to exchange information and give immediate feedback on their experiences. In this culture of hypertext, users are active contributors to the representation of sex tourism as the recombinant nature of the discussion boards allows them to be consumers and producers (Elmer, 2004: 56; Landow, 1992). The members of this community discuss issues and places with the intention of buying sex and from the experiences of that desire and pursuit. This raises important concerns regarding dystopian and utopian outcomes of internet use.

, beginning with the extant literature in this growing field and ending with a new study of women's media activism in 20 nations. The authors recount and analyze the first-hand narratives of nearly 100 women media activists whose work has contributed to the making of a feminist public sphere that has moved women leaders and agendas more forcefully into their societies. This highly original empirical base, and the Model of Women's Media Action that the authors developed from it, provides a unique account of women's struggles to improve, create, and otherwise employ media in pushing for social change. The text is written in a concise, engaging style, laying out the central concerns about the women - media relationship as it has operated in a variety of political/critical contexts. It can be used alongside "Women and Media: International Perspectives" (2004), by the same authors." (Publisher description)

"Fernsehen tötet die Fantasie – so zumindest die Alltagstheorie zum Verhältnis von Medien und der Imaginationsleistung von Kindern. Bei genauerem Hinsehen ist das Verhältnis jedoch sehr viel komplexer, wie die hier vorgestellte Studie zu den Tagträumen der 8- bis 10-Jährigen zeigt. Fernsehen
...
verdrängt die Fantasie nicht, es wird zu einem Teil von ihr. Kinder nehmen sich etwas aus dem Fernsehen heraus und entwickeln mit den Medienbildern ihre eigenen Erzählungen. Globale Medienensembles wie Harry Potter oder Pokémon werden so zum Bestandteil der Tagträume von Kindern in Israel, Südkorea, den USA und Deutschland, so wie es in früheren Zeiten bei uns Karl Mays Winnetou, der Titanic-Film in Schwarzweiß oder in den 80ern die Ballerina Anna und Flashdance waren. Wie das im Einzelnen geschieht, welche Unterschiede es in den Aneignungsmustern von Mädchen und Jungen gibt, welche nationalen Besonderheiten deutlich werden, und worin sich heutige Kinder von früheren Generationen unterscheiden, zeigt diese qualitative Studie. 193 Kinder aus Israel, Südkorea, den USA und Deutschland gingen auf eine Fantasiereise und malten und erzählten von ihrem großen Tagtraum. Parallel dazu erinnern sich 56 Menschen, die in Zeiten mit einem anderen oder noch gar keinem Fernsehangebot aufwuchsen, an ihre Kindheitsfantasien." (Klappentext)

On a whole, this is a good manual for beginners to learn more about the use, need, methods and impact that audience research can offer." (commbox)
