DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday March 29\, 11:00AM EST for “Media Studies: Th
 e Challenge of the Global South”\n\nA Guest Lecture by Ravi Sundaram (Cent
 re for The Study of Developing Societies\, Delhi)\n\nThe vast majority of 
 media users in the world today are located outside the West\, in Asia\, La
 tin America\, and Africa. Most users in the Global South have a cellular p
 hone as their main or first media device. We are now confronted by media-e
 nabled populations previously seen as supplements to a larger story playin
 g out in the metropolitan world. What can this globally reconfigured media
  landscape tell us about thinking critically about the contemporary? This 
 lecture will focus on the theme of sensory infrastructure\, its links to p
 olitics\, law and memory.\n\nRavi Sundaram is a faculty member at the Cent
 re for the Study of Developing Societies at New Delhi. His work examines h
 ow media infrastructure conditions life in the city\, and how ‘pirate mode
 rnity’ is endemic to the largely informal media networks and usage common 
 in the postcolonial urban spaces of the Global South. His work draws on cr
 itical theory\, media anthropology\, and urbanism. His most recent book wa
 s Pirate Modernity: Media Urbanism in Delhi  (2010). \n\nThis event is org
 anized by Farah Atoui and Liza Tom as part of the History of Communication
  course (COMS 200) and is supported by the AHCS Speaker Series. \n\n \n\nT
