In 1980, Chin-Chuan Lee published his first book Media Imperialism Reconsidered: The Homogenization of Television Culture. In the wake of the debate between the liberal-pluralist's rhetoric of ''free flow of information'' and the Neo-Marxist assertion of cultural imperialism, Lee proposed a middle way solution, unveiling the fallacies of both perspectives while seeking for a proper synthesis of their benefits. He suggests that the media imperialism thesis be empirically built upon verifiable indicators. And a creative synthesis of policies weighing internal dynamics against external constraints, convention with the status-quo, is key for the Third-World nations to control their own media destiny. The article focuses on Lee's discussion of information flow and complexity. By way of contrapuntal reading created by Edward Said, the article reviews Lee's argument, raised forty years ago, against the current conditions of global information flows. It argues that Lee's initial refusal to ''take side'' theoretically and his recognition of case complexity has, to a great extent, cast light on the status quo of information dis/orders. |
