While globalised production, distribution and consumption systems structure contemporary media industries, this collection seeks to document and analyse the many ways in which questions of space and place still matter to those industries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by leading scholars in the field, this international collection explores how media industries both occupy and generate spaces and places. Here, spatial dynamics are represented by the formation of global production networks, the impacts of virtual production technologies, media engagements with local communities, questions of accessible participation in film festivals, and the franchising of space at media-themed leisure attractions. Several of the bookâs chapters reflect the increasing dominance of streaming media, which also have complex relationships to place and space, even as they actively seek to obscure and even erase these aspects of the media they distribute and, in some cases, produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLocating Media Industries \u003c\/i\u003eis essential reading for students and scholars of film, media and\/or creative industries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55534561362263,"sku":"9781032811697","price":39.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781032811697.jpg?v=1792586669","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/locating-media-industries-9781032811697","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
