Don SlaterThe question I want to explore is ‘how to think about and study new media, development and globalization?’ However the title of this paper is a bit of misrepresentation: I am not going to offer you my pet theory of new media, development and globalization, or present startling new findings about them. To the contrary, I’m going to spend the next 45 minutes of so trying to convince you that all three terms are deeply problematic or even dangerous, and should either be dropped from our analytical vocabulary or else be re-defined completely out of recognition.
