Amid the proliferation of a range of new and ubiquitous online platforms, YouTube, a video-based platform, remains a key driver in the democratisation of creative, playful, vernacular, intimate, as well as political expressions. As a critical node of contemporary communication and digital cultures, its steady uptake and appropriation in a social media-savvy nation such as the Philippines requires a critical examination of its role in the continued reconstruction of identities, communities, and broader social institutions. This book closely analyses the diverse content and practices of amateur Filipino YouTubers, exposing and problematising the dynamics of brokering the contested aspirational logics of beauty and selfhood, interracial relationships, world-class labour, and progressive governance in a digital sphere. Ultimately, Philippine Digital Cultures: Brokerage Dynamics on YouTube offers a fresh, compelling, and nuanced account of YouTube as an important site for the mediation of culture, economy, and politics in Philippine postcolonial modernity amid rapid economic globalisation and digitalisation.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: NLItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmAuthor: Cheryll Ruth Soriano, Earvin Charles CabalquintoGenre: Society & CultureBook Series: Asian Visual CulturesTopic: Language & ReferenceRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
