Popular Culture, Geopolitics, and Identity

Now in a thoroughly revised edition, this innovative and engaging text surveys the field of popular geopolitics, exploring the relationship between popular culture and international relations from a geographical perspective. Jason Dittmer and Daniel Bos connect global issues with the questions of identity and subjectivity that we feel as individuals, arguing that who we think we are influences how we understand the world.

Building on the strengths of the first edition, each chapter focuses on a specific theme?such as representation, audience, and affect?by explaining the concept and then outlining some of the emerging debates that have revolved around it. New and updated case studies?including heritage and social media?help illustrate the significance of the concepts and capture the ways popular culture shapes our understandings of geopolitics within everyday life. Students will enjoy the text's accessibility and colorful examples, and instructors will appreciate the way the book brings together a diverse, multidisciplinary literature and makes it understandable and relevant.

Popular Culture, Geopolitics, and Identity is back! This time there is a dynamic duo?Dittmer and Bos. The new edition preserves the accessible and engaging style of the first edition but takes the reader on an updated tour of this exciting interdisciplinary field. Highly recommended.
