AB  - This volume draws its inspiration from perspectives that have developed over  the last few decades in media anthropology. These include seminal works such as  Bourdieu’s (1993 ) analysis of cultural production, Larkin’s (2008 ) study of the  impact of media technologies on cultural form and Ginsburg’s (1995a , 2002 ) work  on indigenous media. Methodologically, the volume relies heavily on ethnography;  each of the contributions is grounded in qualitative research. Most of the chapters  are based upon data that their authors collected while doing long-term research.  Typically, such research involves building up lasting relationships with one’s interlocutors,  learning about their ideas, attitudes and practices by accompanying them  in everyday life. Taken together, the various contributions explore how media that  is made for audiences deemed indigenous is produced, shared, and viewed or  ‘consumed’. The chapters explore the social and political impact of old and new  media technologies and media content in relation to the (re)formulation, contestation  and (re)defi nition of mediatised representations of indigeneity, and how this  bears upon perceptions and conceptualisations of nation in South Asia.
