Countering the view that their focus on lawyers' theatrics makes these texts unworthy of study, this article argues that it is this very focus on physicality, and more particularly the performing bodies of these lawyers, that makes these series so interesting and important. They offer us alternative ways of thinking about lawyers' functioning by making visible how heavily lawyers' bodies are implicated in the processes of law. They reveal the ways in which lawyers embody and perform competing notions of truth and they demonstrate how law itself is constructed as spectacle. Given the global popularity of American legal series, it is concluded that they are constructing a new mythology of lawyers and lawyering that transcends cultural specificities, despite the apparent disjunction in the representation of a system of law which does not operate in the country of the consumer.

The film's circulation in a concrete historical and local context is examined in an effort to appreciate the cultural significance of the film's production at a crucial juncture in the lives of members of the Omagh community.

It argues that those themes, characters and intertextual reference points that appeal to the adolescent viewer also can be seen to speak to the twenty to thirtysomething generation who have turned their back on marriage, mortgages and secure employment in favour of a less rigid definition of adult maturity.

Rather than eliminating traditional distinctions between high and low culture, the now habitual interactions and mutual borrowings between 'high' and 'pop' have given rise to significant changes in the discourse surrounding artistic value. Even as they appear to be evaporating or merging into each other, the old distinctions between 'low' and 'high' continue to pop up in dramatically different guises, repetitively reinscribing themselves in new forms of popular as well as educated artworks, but to new ends. The main focus of analysis are film and television adaptations of canonical literary texts, with particular emphasis on the types of choices made by screenwriters and producers when they adapt canonical works of literature with the aim of making them widely appealing to contemporary audiences.

A qualitative study was conducted in which interviews were held with 21 male and female smokers aged 18-23. The data were analyzed based on principles from a social constructivist approach to grounded theory, acknowledging the role of language and discourse in the construction of reality. Three key identities were read out of the interviewees' accounts: 1) the performative smoker, a construction related mainly to smoking initiation; 2) the defensive smoker; and, 3) the negotiating smoker. The smoker identities constructed by young adult smokers in this study appear to be characterized by considerable contradiction: a 'split vision' between classical positive meanings of smoking as a symbol of freedom, courage and individuality together with conflicting yet parallel meanings positioned by a strong discourse of smoking as stigmatized, immoral and undistinguished.

These issues are contextualized by reference to a set of wider-ranging historical debates about: a) the category of class as a mode of social determination (and as an explanatory model); b) the relations of language, class and culture in educational sociology and in community publishing; and, c) in relation to classical Marxism's theorization of both the 'respectable' working class and the lumpen proletariat. The article concludes with a consideration of debates about the representation of the working class in the contemporary British TV drama series Shameless.

The digitalization of older media and so-called new media has transformed the landscape for music use. Technological developments in radio, television, the internet, computers, mobile phones and mp3 players shape the ways in which popular music is consumed today. This article examines two intersecting aspects of how today's media landscapes are interwoven into and shape teenage girls' uses of popular music. First, it argues that media technologies shape the girls' uses of music in the context of their everyday lives and the spaces they inhabit. Second, media technologies take part in the girls' practices of gender. For example, through their relations with their brothers and new media technology in the home, the girls are negotiating how to be 'girls', 'daughters' and 'sisters'.

While the youth culture in China has joined the global trend to become more commercialized as a result of emerging values, norms and values of consumption, along with (and going beyond) cultural consumption, liberalizing values have developed among young people which might impinge upon society and politics. Based on a framework of materialistic and non-material labour and an ethnographic study of fandom, this article attempts to investigate the problematic by examining the phenomenon of fandom in China with a case study of the fans of the most popular Chinese singer, Jay Chou, the interaction among which has reflected significant changes in youth culture and youth performativity in China today.

After a brief case study of a rap song and summary of the origins of Turkish hip-hop, the article presents a series of vignettes from ethnographic fieldwork with Turkish hip-hoppers and their contacts in Istanbul and Stockholm, in which the theme of movement, and the enduring transnational connections it creates, are highlighted. The article then turns to a discussion of recent theorizing on music scenes, addressing the ways in which the local, translocal and virtual levels of the Turkish hip-hop scene complexly interact with each other. Finally, it suggests that Turkish hip-hop may be best understood as a transnational community of affect in which not only attachment to specific places, but also movement itself between them, are crucial to a sense of belonging for those who are able to participate in these movements.

Asian self-representation continues to be a critically-needed intervention. East London's Asian electronic music scene serves as a means to represent the voices of young urban British Asians, attempting to bring them from peripheral alterity and render them visible in mainstream British popular culture. The music, which blends synthesized electronic music with South Asian musical stylings, has brought musicians from both the South Asian diaspora and the subcontinent to perform in `Banglatown', East London. These regular globalized performances of the scene, an aspect rarely investigated, have challenged locally bounded British Asian identities.

The formation of a local music scene is analysed through the notion of urban creative milieu stating its historical debt to the city industrial heritage; place-images produced by the local popular music scene are analysed as visual, aural and lyrical productions. The article examines the consolidation of the considered local popular music scene through bottom-up and autonomous projects and the regeneration of some areas of Manchester. It looks at the role of the 'New Left' municipality, its difficulties in recognizing the city's creative capital and its attitude towards the production and consumption of popular music. The conclusions present some general reflections on the Manchester legacy and its significance for a definition of creativity at the urban level.

Since 2000, Finnish popular music has gained notable recognition at the international level. Some acts (e.g. HIM, Children of Bodom and Apocalyptica) have even succeeded in the US market, which traditionally has been considered important for music performers. This export boom has had a significant role in the legitimization of rock music, yet it has revealed how contemporary national cultures are produced in a context of popular culture in which distinctiveness often is sought globally. Tracing the changes in Finnish music exports and using the media discourse of metal music as an example, this article argues that international fame not only supports the commercial prosperity and institutional production of Finnish popular music, but also appears as a form of modern nation-building.

To do so it develops a critical approach called footprint analysis, which involves investigating the variety of practices that occur within range of a given satellite's service. Satellites have been used in post-communist territories to circulate broadcast and telecommunication signals, facilitate flows of capital and reshape geographic imaginaries. In addition, satellites have become orbital platforms for the Caspian's booming oil industry. Satellites are used to support everything from surveying oil fields to monitoring drilling operations, from construction of oil rigs to the maintenance of pipelines. The article sets out to develop a model of analysis which can account for the more 'cultural' uses of satellites (i.e. for broadcasting) in relation to their more 'extractive' uses (i.e. for natural resource development).

It argues that the European Union's infrastructures are intent upon erasing the past and integrating the new places with as little tension as possible, for economic purposes only. Running counter to this late-capitalist investment is the collective video project Timescapes, which includes Angela Melitopoulos' road movie Corridor X, on the history of the Balkan Highway between Germany and Turkey. The deeply historical and transnational networking practices at the heart of this art project offer us a possible paradigm for rethinking what Europe could mean in an age of EU enlargement to the east.

This hybridity is connected to Poland's spectral nationality: that is, the way in which socialism, although officially dead, continues to haunt the nation. As post-socialist transformations take place, they produce hybridized cultures of local specificities, involving a material and emotional architecture that mixes 'old', enduring socialist realities with the welcomed arrival of western goods, images and new models of desirable identities. This desire for instant westernization, globalization and refashioning of culture persists alongside the need to reassert Polishness and an ultranational ethos promoted most strongly through TV channels and radio programs belonging to conservative Catholic groups. To analyze these clashes, Kamil Turowski's photo-document `Streets of Crocodiles: Post-Socialist Globalization' is used, as well as radio and digital culture.

Around these representations, the article traces Romania's journey into televisibility on American television news, from an initially inaccessible site of falling communism to an overexposed site of post-communist trauma. Reports from abortion clinics were the first encounters with the territory of Romania that American television offered firsthand to its viewers, and these representations of Romanian women were the first representations of post-communist identities on American television. The article suggests that these representations of post-communist subjects, who appear as overexposed sites on which American television traces the effects of communism and the predicaments of the post-communist condition, display symptomatic features which have remained pervasive.

Because the Roma are a transnational European minority ethnic group, they have been used as a 'test case' by western human rights groups to evaluate minority rights in post-socialist nations. The article highlights the role of new media technologies in redirecting concerns about the lack of human rights in Europe as a whole to the former Eastern bloc countries. It draws attention to the limits of western liberal discourses and new media technologies to redress racial and material discrimination against the Roma.

'International Who is Who' (Iwiw) is unparalleled in its popularity. Modelled after Friendster, Iwiw had 1.5 million registered users in Hungary (a country of 10 million) by 2006, when it was purchased by Deutsche Telecom. The emergence, rapid growth and functioning of this predominantly language and location-based virtual public space provide valuable insight into the formation of a networked public in post-socialist cultures. The article discusses the political and economic context of Iwiw's emergence in comparison with popular social network sites of a global reach such as Facebook and MySpace. It introduces the notion of `national intimacy' to reflect on a specific post-communist tension between the democratic model of interaction presented by Iwiw and the national boundaries of this model; and between the global potential of the technology and its restricted, national use.

It asks how sex blogs draw on women's association with autobiographical forms and on the connections between accounts of female sexuality, the confessional and notions of authenticity. It focuses on the popular and award-winning sex blogs Belle de Jour and Girl with a One Track Mind. Both have been turned into books (2005 and 2006), and are early examples of the `blook', a genre which has been described as `the world's fastest-growing new kind of book'. This article examines these in relation to other key postfeminist texts such as Sex and the City (1996, 1998—2004 and 2008), and to the broader cultural context where women are increasingly presented as active and autonomous sexual narrators and sexual adventuresses.

Elias' theory of the civilizing process, and its extension into an informalizing process, is figured together with historical accounts of the rise of mass-market consumerism and its turn to lifestyle consumerism, particularly as the latter is mediated by lifestyle branding. Attention is paid to the role of the body as an object of shame, and the ways in which shame thresholds are lowered (applied with less tolerance) under the civilizing influences of mass consumerism and raised again (applied with more tolerance) under the informalizing influences of lifestyle brands. Illustrative cases are cited from historical scholarship on the history of consumerism and contemporary advertising.

Based on focus group interviews with Dutch girls aged 12—13, it argues that girls' talk about celebrities functions as an identity tool in the reflexive project of the self. Alternating three repertoires (identification, makeability and authenticity), the girls appropriated narratives of celebrities to themselves and others in their everyday lives. The article adds knowledge about the reception of celebrities in Dutch multicultural society, intervenes in feminist discussions about girls and their agency, and contributes empirically to the literature about audiences and celebrities, more specifically to the notions of reflexivity and identification.

It traces representations of the `mixed race' body, from colonial discourses of degeneracy and monstrosity to capitalist discourses of commercialized exoticism and `beauty'. It then examines how people of Thai and non-Thai parentage interviewed in Britain and Germany in 2001 and 2002 negotiated gendered and racialized readings of their bodies. Narratives of multi-racialized embodiment brim with racism, as the `valuable' or `pathological', `good' or `bad mixes', of unlike body parts grafted onto each other. This necessitates a critical re-evaluation of `hybridity' debates, which treat biological racism as a past phenomenon that can be metaphorized for cultural processes of identification.

In contrast with other approaches to fan identities, it emphasizes the extent to which the fan experience is a gendered way of handling a number of existential questions in respect of individualization processes. Star-texts act as a `guide' or cultural resource to help many men and women deal with a number of threats to their identity. Fears of atomization, disintegration and meaninglessness were an ever-present feature of the interviews. Relations to star-texts resist easy forms of categorization but help to inscribe ambivalent identities. Mainly focusing upon male fans (and the construction of masculine identity), it was discovered that certain hegemonic features of masculinity can be connected to the consumption of so-called `alternative' texts, while exploring a number of other more ambivalent features often ignored by audience research.

The participants were questioned about their experiences of watching New Zealand films now that they were living overseas, in order to understand their perspectives on national identity. The themes that developed include: the importance of national film viewing by expatriates in creating and celebrating `Kiwiness'; the `cultural translation' that expatriate Kiwis undertake for their British friends and acquaintances; and the nostalgic associations produced through visual portrayals of national landscape and landmarks. Additionally, this article acts as a methodological `case study' of this kind of research, one which bridges the disciplinary boundaries between traditional film studies work and other qualitative, sociological fields such as mass communications and ethnography.
