Live Stage: Media Nagar 03 [
New Delhi]

A discussion on Media Nagar 03 – network culture :: February 1, 2008; 6:00 pm :: Oxford Book Store, Statesmen Building 148, Barakhamba Road, CP New Delhi.
The Media Nagar Series is a Hindi publication from Sarai. It started off as an annual publication of the Publics and Practices in the History of Present (PPHP) project of Sarai in 2004. The work undertaken by researchers within the project were compiled and transformed into the Media Nagar 01. It also included contributions by others working in the same field outside Sarai. The second in the series, Media Nagar 02, became an independent publication of Sarai and it concentrated mainly around the theme of Media and the City. Researchers and scholars across the world were invited to provide with articles. Fundamentally this was an effort to prepare a resource material for the Hindi medium researchers, students and media practitioners.
Media Nagar 03 is focused on network culture. Its main objective is to explore the notions of network and also to understand its functioning, how it is formed and its impact on the social order. Besides, it has articles on other media forms and activities such as film, music, print, media market, legal regime, and other new media forms.
Now that Media Nagar 03 is out, it is a good time for contributors, old and new and well wishers to gather and deliberate critically about the shape and conception of this book along with the rest in the series.
