Global Storytelling in the Era of Digital Platform examines the evolution of serialized storytelling during the era of virtual border-crossing, factoring in the evolving dynamics between the local and the global. This volume focuses on the dynamic interplay between the production and circulation of serial storytelling and streaming platforms. Global in scope, covering diverse regions from the West to the East and the Global North to the Global South, the book places focus on the critically acclaimed and/or commercially viable serial dramas through the lens of “success”. A case studies approach analyzing the political economy of production, the culture of circulation, and the narrative and style of a particular show or a group of shows is discussed, in conversation with new approaches and ideas. The comprehensive and significant analyses of the dynamic changes and persistent features of global storytelling within the broader ebb and flow of global modernity make this book an ideal selection for scholars and students of Media Studies, Cultural Studies, Digital Media, Area Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, Platform Studies, and Globalization Studies.
