As "new media" becomes increasingly everyday for young and old across Asia through smartphones and associated devices, boundaries between art, new media, and the everyday are transformed. The Routledge Handbook of New Media in Asia addresses the historical, social, cultural, political, philosophical, artistic and economic dimensions of the region's new media. It aims to provide an authoritative, intellectually broad, conceptually cutting-edge guide to the important aspects of new media in the region- as the first point of consultation for the interested researcher, and advanced level undergraduate and postgraduate students in fields of new media and Asian studies.
