Mediascape and The State
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-51931-9 (ISBN)
The book draws a geographical interpretation of politics to reveal the role of both media and the state to shape the political discourse with special focus on the privileged position of the "heartland" Uttar Pradesh in Indian politics. It studies the "mediascape" by highlighting application of media in both public and private spheres and discussing the importance of both old and new media, e.g., print, radio, TV, social media. Several crucial aspects are discussed and answered. How do media and politicians construct politics around the issue of minorities? How do media communalize issues during the election campaign? How can local issues gain national importance and shape national politics?
This book appeals to scientists but also to graduates and postgraduates that want to understand the way image politics are performed.Introduction: Mediascape and the State.- Mapping the Mediascapes in India.- UP- the Heartland of Indian Politics and Polity.- From Regional to National: The Making of UP as the "Heartland" of Indian Politics and Polity in Media.- Locating the Communal Vote Bank Politics in the Mediated Heartland of Uttar Pradesh.- From National to Regional: Development and Governance as the New Avatars of UP Heartland Politics.- Postscript.
