In specific, I am focusing on its function as a pop- culture globalised 'post-documentary' form that, on the one hand, reflects our era's 'post-modern' dimension, and through the space-time processes decontextualises space (geography) and time (history), and thus, distorts our sense of the 'real' and transcends the cultural borders; while on the other hand, reflects our era's 'late- capitalism' dimension, and thus, the western capitalistic spaces, (pop-) cultural symbols and social dynamics. Therefore, Big Brother, enhances the globalisation process in the form of westernisation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VDM Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47610755285143,"sku":"9783639101355","price":4507.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783639101355.webp?v=1775066941","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/big-brother-the-reality-show-as-a-globalized-post-documentary-form-9783639101355","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
