Global Digital Media: Interventions from Intersectional, Queerfeminist and Postcolonial Perspectives

Abstract

In communication and media studies, especially those in German-speaking countries, queer and postcolonial perspectives are rather marginally represented. At the same time, theoretical discussions of global issues from postcolonial, queer, and intersectional approaches have challenged empirical research. In fact, such theoretical approaches can provide new research perspectives for disciplines that see themselves as interdisciplinary, such as media and communication studies. They can lend impetus for theory formulation and they may also unsettle normalized standards in knowledge production itself.
