“An urgent addition to accounts of globalization in the new millennium, Media Across Borders attends to key issues – digitalization, transnationalism and media convergence – to describe diverse practices of localization. Theoretically astute, the essays in this collection sparkle with insight and vigour.”- Associate Professor Constantine Verevis, Monash University, Melbourne

“Media Across Borders provides a hugely welcome addition to debates about the globalisation and localisation of contemporary audiovisual culture. Its engaging, articulate and highly perceptive essays provide a series of thought provoking and timely interventions into some of the key features of the increasingly digitalised audiovisual landscape of the twenty first century.”- Professor Lucy Mazdon, University of Southampton

“An interdisciplinary, innovative and unique volume. Interdisciplinary as it truly combines tools and methodologies from different areas to cast a close eye on today’s production of, and market for, audiovisual entertainment. Innovative as it moves away from case study-based analyses and goes as far as to devote a whole section to outlining new, interdisciplinary research avenues. Unique as it draws together and combines concepts such as audiovisual translation and localization, which have too often, mistakenly, been kept apart. A highly recommended read.” – Associate Professor of Translation, Elena Di Giovanni, University of Macerata, Italy
