Featuring rich, thought-provoking essays and a major, agenda-setting introduction, this is a milestone collection.\" -- Meaghan Morris, coeditor of Gender, Media, and Modernity in the Asia-Pacific \"Asian Video Cultures addresses the continent as an always-emerging formation, rather than just a region. By doing so, it is able to mount a series of powerful, ethnographically grounded theoretical provocations on contemporary media culture. We revisit ideas of participation and the public, the status of mediation in the bioinformatic world, globalization, and work. This outstanding collection helps us put into perspective the overly North American debate on digital media.\" -- Ravi Sundaram, author of Pirate Modernity: Delhi's Media Urbanism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  vii\u003cbr\u003e Introduction  1\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
