This collection of essays explores the interfaces between new information technologies and their impact on contemporary culture, and recent transformations in capitalist production. The contributors address these transformation by exploring their relation to new digital media (YouTube, MySpace, digital image and video technology, information networks, etc.) and various cultural forms including the Hispanic television talk show, indigenous video production, documentary film in Southern California, the Latin American stock market, German security surveillance, transnational videoconferencing, and Japanese tourists' use of visual images on cell phones. This book was published as a special issue of Social Identities.
