*CFP* “CRITICAL MASS MEDIA HISTORIES IN SOUTHEAST ASIA”, VOL.2, NO.1, SOUTHEAST ASIAN MEDIA STUDIES

This first issue of the second volume of the Southeast Asian Media Studies aims to provide a collection of research articles on Critical Mass Media Histories (CMMHs) in Southeast Asia.

CMMHs refer to critical narratives about mass media’s past that are relevant to a particular audience—in our case, Southeast Asians. The goal of CMMHs is not only to explain the development of mass media across space and time but to critique such development in line with a commitment to social justice and social progress. To accomplish this objective, CMMHs make use of critical perspectives such as socialism, indigenization, postcolonialism, postmodernism, feminism, queer theory, and/or environmentalism. CMMHs also integrate history with other social sciences, including geography, anthropology, linguistics, psychology, sociology, economics, and political science in the systematic study of mass media which can be categorized, albeit arbitrarily, into print media, sound and film media, broadcast media, and new media.
