Detail Book Review: Cultures in Orbit: Satellites and the Televisual   Oleh:  Dornschneider, Stephanie Jenis: Article from Article Dalam koleksi: European Journal of Communication vol. 22 no. 1 (2010), page 113-115. Topik: Satellites; Televisual Fulltext: 113.full.pdf (65.19KB) Isi artikel Much has been written about globalization and its increasing flows of information. That is why Lisa Parks’ Cultures in Orbit seems to address a field that has been explored widely and thus offers little room for new and important contributions. However, Cultures in Orbit takes an unconventional approach towards the spread of information and offers an interesting and innovative perspective. This is achieved by focusing on satellites. Tracing the uses of modern technology, Parks challenges and refutes the common image of a connected globe. That is, she does not describe increasing dissemination of information around the world, but questions how this dissemination is conducted. In this way, she demonstrates how satellites have created divisions rather than unified the world, and she calls into question our understanding of an ultimately connected globe.
