SUMMARY:What is Comparative Media?
DESCRIPTION:The Comparative Media Initiative seeks to broaden our unde
 rstanding of media by critically examining how the same tech
 nologies work in radically different ways across the globe\, 
 juxtaposing media practices in Africa\, Latin America\, and As
 ia as well as in Western centers.  At the same time\, we do 
 not study one medium in isolation but focus on the interacti
 on between emerging\, dominant\, and residual media which alwa
 ys exist side by side.  Both modes of comparison aim to dec
 enter dominant modes of media historiography by highlighting
  the reciprocal exchange between aesthetic forms and technol
 ogical innovations as they take place in specific contexts t
 hat range from state socialism to advanced commodity culture
 s to Islamic theocracies.
