Chapter 1 aims for a perspectival shift in the approach to remapping contemporary Galician culture and the challenges and opportunities it faces in a global environment. The chapter follows a postnational, non-canonical, and multi/interdisciplinary cultural studies approach, reflecting issues of transnational mobility, migration and transatlantic studies, more in sync with the hybrid complexities of contemporary cultural production. My theoretical perspective is particularly sensitive to the multiple interactions between the local and the global, and the creation of “glocal” realities in complex relations of interdependence and interpenetration.

Ethnic groups have been defined as people who share a common ethos based on ancestry, nation, language and other identity markers. This volume brings scholars from across the globe that have incorporated perspectives from critical and cultural studies in an investigation of what it means to define oneself in an ethnic category and how this category is performed and represented as an ethnicity. The essays in this volume engage the four themes of identity construction, local and transnational politics, appropriation and related exotification, and resistance that are part of the ongoing discourse in the relationship between dance and ethnicity. Cumulatively, the essays in their research approach and methodology document the change that has taken place in dance studies from the ethnic as an easily identified category based on biology and geography to ethnicity as a fluid concept and dance as an active contributor to the creation and negotiation of it.

This article puts forward the fundamental lines of thought on the Political Economy of Communications and the Media, since the development of capitalism up to the present day. Clarifying the distinction between Economy and Political Economy, this work examines the central split between two traditions within Political Economy: the Classic approach which is centred on markets and competition mechanisms and the Critical approach which is centred on the analysis of property and the distribution of power in society. Despite internal distinct traditions, for political economists’ questions about cultural production and consumption are never simply matters of economic organisation or creative expression and the relations between them. They are always also questions about the organisation of power and its consequences for the constitution of public life. Based on different Political Economy perspectives, this article attempts to present the most recent developments on communications and media markets in Europe and the major challenges and opportunities the discipline faces in a time marked by the emergence of a digital public sphere.

Мета статті – аналіз та структуризація історіографії основних історико-культурологічних досліджень, що вивчають просторово-образні та технологічні засоби виразності у сценічному мистецтві. Наукова новизна дослідження полягає у вперше здійсненому комплексному міждисциплінарному системному відборі та аналітичному опрацюванні джерел з проблем ролі просторових і технологічних засобів виразності у створенні сценічної образності. Шляхом застосування мультимодального та транссистемного підходів, авторка доходить висновку, що проблеми просторово-образних й технологічних засобів виразності у сценічному мистецтві фрагментарно і з різних ракурсів вивчали як науковці, так і практики театру. Однак на сьогоднівітчизняній науці бракує цілісного культурологічного дослідження з проблем створення сценічної образності просторовими та технологічними засобами виразності.Ключові слова: історіографія, сценічна образність, сценічний простір, технологічні засоби. The purpose of the article is to analyze and structure the historiography of the basic historical and cultural studies that study the spatial-figurative and technological means of expression in the performing arts. The scientific novelty of the research is the first complex interdisciplinary systematic selection and analytical study of sources on the role of spatial and technological means of expressiveness in the creation of stage imagery. Through the use ofmultimodal and trans-system approaches, the author concludes that the problems of space-visual and technological means of expressiveness in the performing arts have been fragmented and studied from different angles by both scholars and theater practitioners. Today, however, there is a lack of comprehensive cultural research on the problems of creating stage imagery by spatial and technological means of expression.Key words: historiography, stage imagery, stage space, technological means.

The Russian Federation

Ever since the late 1960s, when Fredrik Barth urged us to move away from the idea that ethnicity is constituted by “cultural stufT and to focus instead on the boundary that demarcates groups, anthropologists (and their perhaps more radical half-siblings in cultural studies) have cast into doubt the primordial or essentialist nature of ethnic groups, to say nothing of ethnic identity. Earlier studies focused on the groups themselves—how they display and are constrained by their identity as immigrants, minorities, ethnics, “persistent peoples,” and even “marginal men” (sic)—while more recent investigations have taken up the “borderlands” where groups meet, confront each other (Rosaldo; Rouse), and become zones of hybridized cultural production (Bhabha). In a related vein, ethnicity is also explored as one of many possible intersections of power and culture, and ethnic identity becomes a crazy-quilt of namings and “being-called” (Probyn 25). Indeed, Stuart Hall informs us that “identities are never unified, and in late modem times, increasingly fragmented and fractured, never singular but multiply constructed across different, often intersecting and antagonistic discourses, practices and positions” (4, emphasis added).

Art and the Creation of Mexico’s Communist Party, 1919–1930

Chapter 1 focuses on the founding of Mexico’s Communist Party in 1919, and the Party’s links to the influential national and international artistic movement active in Mexico throughout the 1920s. Although during these early years the Party’s official membership numbers remained relatively insignificant, this chapter argues that the extraordinary influence of these creative participants, both female and male, on the politics of the period was far from trivial. Art and politics intertwined as artists played major roles in political affairs, and government officials appropriated the arts to transmit the “official” national history.

Forgoing an examination of the media industries, Chapter 1 focuses instead on the rise of what one might call the mediated industries. A prehistory of television at work, this chapter traces an intensifying relationship between electronic media and the workplace that follows the development and industrial application of telegraphy, telephony, recorded sound, wireless, applied radio, Muzak, faxing, and nontheatrical film. Situating this discussion in the context of scholars’ treatment of communication and empire, it argues that television occupies a key transitional position for the mediated corporation in which electronic communication’s dual uses as a logistical tool and as a conduit for cultural production converge. These processes illustrate the development of an alternative media sector and the symbiotic relationship between the “knowledge industries” and corporate expansion, as well as the specificities of how media infrastructures are created at scale.
