Zusammenfassung: | 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 |

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 SOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies bisacsh Cell phone systems Antennas Social aspects India Nuclear power plants Environmental aspects India Nuclear power plants Social aspects India Medien (DE-588)4169187-8 gnd rswk-swf Umweltpolitik (DE-588)4078523-3 gnd rswk-swf Öffentliche Meinung (DE-588)4043152-6 gnd rswk-swf Infrastruktur (DE-588)4026944-9 gnd rswk-swf Film (DE-588)4017102-4 gnd rswk-swf Basisstation Mobilfunk (DE-588)4538215-3 gnd rswk-swf Kernkraftwerk (DE-588)4030329-9 gnd rswk-swf Indien (DE-588)4026722-2 gnd rswk-swf Indien (DE-588)4026722-2 g Infrastruktur (DE-588)4026944-9 s Medien (DE-588)4169187-8 s Film (DE-588)4017102-4 s Umweltpolitik (DE-588)4078523-3 s Kernkraftwerk (DE-588)4030329-9 s Basisstation Mobilfunk (DE-588)4538215-3 s Öffentliche Meinung (DE-588)4043152-6 s DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 9781478007623 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 9781478008064 https://doi.org/10.1515/9781478009016 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
