Television tension: national versus cosmopolitan memory in a co-produced television documentary
Article Abstract:
Media is one of the main mnemonic sites in contemporary society but the latest observation of media's strong bond with collective memory is challenged due to the tensions arising in the television media. The role of television producers as mnemonic agents is explored and the tension between economic interests and cultural constraints, between global and the national, and between collective and cosmopolitan memory is emphasized.

Mediatized rituals: Beyond manufacturing consent
Article Abstract:
The study of mediatized rituals challenges entrenched theoretical views about media power, its locations and determinations and the role of media in processes of manufacturing consent. The study suggests to reconceptualize the understanding of 'ritual', acknowledging its complex forms and variegated expressions within late-modern, increasingly mediazited, societies.
