“…This is a clear indication of what Servaes and Lie (2003, 14) refer to as mass media and cultural mixing; denoting that 'the narrative discourse of media adapts to the popular narrative tradition of myth and melodrama, and the way audiences learn to recognise their collective cultural identity in the media discourse'. Although for Servaes and Lie (2003) this is true for television, the same is true for print media. In South Africa, this call for a 'cultural mixing' is seen in the manner in which, post-1994, the print media in particular were pressured not only to report news, but to do so in ways that speak to the democracy (McChesney 2000;Radebe 2001).…”

“…Questions on the role of the media cannot be addressed without engaging with questions on who owns the media (Radebe 2001), and with broader debates on how local influences are influenced by the global (Servaes and Lie 2003). Ownership of the media in South Africa therefore raises important questions on content, i.e., what is reported and how it is reported (Radebe 2001): What Radebe (ibid.…”

“…The article therefore aims to examine whether (and how) the call for a 'cultural mixing' (Servaes and Lie 2003) or 'social responsibility' (Fourie 2008) with regard to the discourse on men and health has been heeded by the Sowetan. The focus on men's health is because until recently public discourse and academic engagement tended to focus on women's health, thereby silently implying that men's health is not significant (Khunou, forthcoming) or that masculinities are not to be problematised (Connell 1995;Morrell 2001).…”

Recent messages on men's health suggest a crisis in the health of men in general. Most of these present men from a hegemonic view, denoting that men are uncaring, indifferent to their healthcare needs and generally risk takers. The limit of such a conception is its uncritical reference to hegemonic masculinity, without an acknowledgement of different experiences by men. Through a content analysis of articles on men and health from the Sowetan newspaper, this article shows that representations of men in relation to health fail to account for the complex and varied practices of men with regard to their health. This representation is influenced by the contested and constantly shifting role of the media. Although the media play an important role in informing the masses, the article shows that such information is not about all men, nor is it accessible by all men. As a result of socio-economic inequalities and other significant differences among men, the presentations in these newspaper articles limit our view of men to that of a hegemonic one, with negative consequences for men's health. In conclusion, it further limits the facilitation of improving intervention for the health needs of all men.

“…Meanwhile, Servaes and Lie write globalisation as the widening, deepening, and speeding up of the worldwide interconnectedness in all aspects of contemporary social life. [4] The two concepts of globalisation underline the idea of worldwide interconnectivity that allows a borderless world. This borderless world allows inevitable influences in fashion decision since people are more connected in new media era and globalisation era.…”

Kebaya as a form of Indonesian female clothes has experienced big changes in its looks. Contestation has happened between the traditional kebaya and the modern one since fashionable kebaya was introduced by an Indonesian kebaya designer, Anne Avantie. By considering the cultural practices and preferences of the individual and group behavior toward taste, this study intends to investigate some forces that influence the shifting of trends in kebaya designs, from the traditional designs to the fashionable kebaya. The need of this study stems from the scarcity of research dealing with the contestation in the borderless world, between tradisional kebaya and fashionable kebaya. An analysis of the cultural, social, political and technological influencing the consumption of fashionable kebaya is conducted in order to find out what forces influence the shifting trends of kebaya designs. Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of field and taste are used to study and analyze deeply the power relation, contestation taking place in the field of kebaya and its effects towards the structure of kebaya field. This study applies a qualitative method and a media ethnography approach. The research finding shows that kebaya trends have been influenced by the political reform, social and cultural exposure. Interconnectivity in the borderless world and the rapid development of new media technology have important roles in this social movement.

“…This position asserts that there is still significant scope for national, local, and other agents to act in terms of policy, and it identifies specific local conditions and histories that enable the policy reform process within this global context (Servaes & Lie, 2003). The globalist and traditionalist positions represent opposite sides of the same determinist coin.…”
