{"product_id":"studying-political-communication-and-media-florian-schneider-9789048564453","title":"Studying Political Communication and Media in East Asia: A Playful Textbook","description":"Communication is at the heart of politics, and certainly in East Asia, where vibrant media systems and cultural industries connect with political processes that range from the democratic to autocratic. If we are to understand East Asian societies, and 21st-century politics more broadly, we need to take media and communication seriously. This textbook provides a flexible toolbox of methods and theories for studying political communication. Taking its examples and exercises from Japan, Korea, and the Chinese-speaking world, it walks readers through core issues, media contents, and communicative modes. Readers will learn how to systematically analyse the politics of media environments, written and spoken words, images and visual designs, moving image, space and spatial interactions, (video)games, and more. The chapters can be used individually or, optionally, as a playful 'gamified' course that offers learners a first-hand experience of how complex 'information societies' incentivise behaviour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Florian Schneider\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 904856445X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789048564453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Florian Schneider","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46618139590911,"sku":"9789048564453","price":88.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_69240354-0ff5-447a-8f38-a7840c4f0073.jpg?v=1740069273","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/studying-political-communication-and-media-florian-schneider-9789048564453","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
