What is your image of Japan? A technologically hip nation of cyber-savvy samurai? A land where culture can be both cute and conformist? In Japanese Cybercultures, editors Nanette Gottlieb and Mark McLelland challenge our perceptions of Japan and the Internet through a range of fascinating perspectives.

Adding to a growing body of ethnographic studies focusing on Internet use in different countries, the three thematic sections of the book — popular culture; gender and sexuality; and politics and religion — demonstrate how the use of the Internet is both entrenched in and changing various perspectives of daily life in Japan. >> continue

– Dette første gang det blir utgitt en samlet populærhistorie om Nord-Norge, sier Asbjørn Jaklin. Jaklin har tatt for seg landsdelens historie fra 1884 og fram til i dag. Jaklin innrømmer at han hadde han et annerledes bilde av nordlendingen da han begynte på boka enn det han har i dag.

– Nord-Norge har ikke vært en landsdel som har ligget i bakevja. Vi har hatt et flerkulturelt miljø lenge før pakistanerne kom til Oslo. Fauske hadde på et tidspunkt Norges nest største industri og Nord-Norge har hele tiden vært involvert i internasjonale forhold. Blant annet i forbindelse med den kalde krigen og pomorhandelen. Nå har forskjellen mellom nordlendingen og resten av befolkningen blitt jevnet ut, sier han. >> les mer

Critics dismiss Malaysian Idol as ’empty entertainment’ but educators endorse the programme for its unifying factor. Among others, critics had called it a morally decadent programme that might influence local youth to go against Asian values.

Social anthropologist Professor Wan Zawawi Ibrahim from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Institute of the Malay World and Civilisation loves the show for its multicultural content. “Malaysian Idol is a space for young people of different ethnicity, faiths and cultures to interact,” he says.

Wan Zawawi, whose main areas of research include pop culture and multiculturalism, admires the bond shared by the participants. It has been noted frequently that Malaysian undergraduates are not comfortable mixing with those of different ethnic backgrounds. >> continue
