- Stuart Cunningham, “Popular Media as Public ‘Sphericules’ for Diasporic Communities”

Questions
- How do physical diasporas with a critical mass of a population differ from those that are connected by media?
- How did the Vietnamese communities in Australia use music videos to connect to their homeland?
- How does media allow for public sphere activities to occur for a displaced, diasporic populations, such as the Vietnamese and Fijian immigrants in Australia?
