Summary: "This special issue of the Review of International Studies opens up the discussion of the cultures and politics of communication within the discipline of International Relations (IR) and beyond. Through a variety of different mediums ranging from mass media, internet, film, memory, music, travelling, and emotions, this book seeks to accentuate their importance for IR, both as a source of knowledge and as an ideational exchange which shapes IR. It examines the diverse ways that multidiscipiinary thinkers try to understand and explain global routes, mobilities, cultures, commodifications, singularities. discourses and aestheticisations. Overall, it specifically addresses three interrelated themes: how international and global studies approach the question of communication; how to conceptualise and respond to the globalisation of communication; and how global problems are communicated within and across the institutional settings of disciplines in general, and IR in particular."--BOOK JACKET.
