Product Information
In Radiant Infrastructures Rahul Mukherjee explores how the media coverage of nuclear power plants and cellular phone antennas in India-what he calls radiant infrastructures-creates environmental publics: groups of activists, scientists, and policy makers who use media to influence public opinion. In documentaries, lifestyle television shows, newspapers, and Bollywood films, and through other forms of media (including radiation-sensing technologies), these publics articulate contesting views about the relationships between modernity, wireless signals, and nuclear power. From testimonies of cancer patients who live close to cell towers to power plant operators working to contain information about radiation leaks and health risks, discussions in the media show how radiant infrastructures are at once harbingers of optimism about India's development and emitters of potentially carcinogenic radiation. In tracing these dynamics, Mukherjee expands understandings of the relationship between media and infrastructure and how people make sense of their everyday encounters with technology and the environment.

Reviews
Because of its ambitious scope, the book will be useful to scholars and students interested in media and mediation, the environment and the Anthropocene, cinema and image politics, global development, and capitalist modernity, particularly the South Asian version of it. By eschewing easy answers and soft targets, Mukherjee boldly lines up the stakes in taking radiation-emitting infrastructures seriously. Modern South Asian life is directly enabled and affected by them. Radiant Infrastructures gives us a different starting point to work towards a more equitable experience with modernity in this and other parts of the world., This extensive survey of media ecologies... opens up many more questions and possible avenues of future research endeavours that can investigate the larger international contexts within which these media narratives operate.... Building on this book, future researchers may seek to understand the reasons behind these international investments in the development of radiant infrastructures the ways in which global forces inform the local production of knowledge and uncertainty., Drawing on wide-ranging ethnographic and media research, Rahul Mukherjee has crafted an insightful account of what 'radiant infrastructures' like cell phone towers and nuclear reactors tell us about India's media ecology. Tracking environmental controversies surrounding new technologies, Mukherjee does a superb job of analyzing the role of media in shaping new cultures of uncertainty in countries like India. A major contribution to media studies, environmental studies, and critical infrastructure studies, this book is sure to inspire scholars interested in media technologies and politics in South Asia and beyond., The book's energizing conceptualization of radiance puts it in conversation with the recent body of interdisciplinary scholarship around mediating energies, such as rare earth minerals, solar power, wind, carbon, and the sociotechnical relations generated by these energies. . . . This book will be compelling for a wide range of readers, as it offers an invaluable framework for thinking about environmental justice and critical infrastructure in Asia, from post-Fukushima Japan to China's accelerated adoption of 5G cellular infrastructures and Southeast Asia's energy crisis., With an inventive interdisciplinary approach and engaging literary style, Rahul Mukherjee presents the new concept and analytical device of radiant infrastructures. His book makes an important contribution to media and infrastructure studies by providing new understandings of infrastructure as a radiant system., The book is sophisticated in theory and thorough in fieldwork.... In a world of (post) COVID-19 where the cultures of uncertainty pervade, this book offers a timely intervention diving into the diffusive radiant infrastructures where the power dynamics emerge among the discourses., Written in a lively and polemic style, the book is a compelling read. . . . Radiant Infrastructures skillfully cuts across and contributes to key debates on infrastructure, global media, postcolonialism, materiality, and global publics within media and communication studies, as well as to science and technology studies by outlining the role of media--broadly defined--in shaping scientific controversies, and it will be a compelling reading for a broad range of readers.

Never received the item the first time it was supposedly sent. Almost 100% sure it was forgotten to be put in the parcel for the combined shipping with another item, although I was told to wait and it was a separate shipping. Contacted them again. Was told they would send a replacement and to wait 5-15 days. Never received notification of shipping and never received the second copy either. Leaving negative review before the time for feedback expires. Waiting word on refund. Buyer beware!
