A king has a troubling dream about a magnificent image . . . The head of gold, the chest and arms of silver, the belly and things of bronze, the legs of iron, the feet a mixture of iron and clay, and a huge boulder that smashes the whole thing to pieces! What does it all mean? A prophet offers an amazing interpretation . . . in turn, four kingdoms would conquer the world, and in turn, four kingdoms would fall. Never again would the world be ruled by one power, through many would try. . .until the very end of time. There will be wars, the prophet declared. Crime, lawlessness, immorality, disasters of every description. Then a superpower of unimaginable strength and influence will brighten our planet like a star bursting in the heavens, the prophet predicted, and it will last forever. A dreaming king. An ancient prophecy, spanning 2,500 years, fulfilled in every particular-almost. Only the last event is yet to happen. And you are sitting on the front row of the universe.

"The author’s capacity to grasp and interpret these [world media] events is astounding, and her ability to provide insights into a world where unbounded information is circling the earth with the speed of light is startling." ―Choice"... a wide-ranging, quirky and dextrous mix of description, theory and analysis, that documents the perils of the global telecommunications network... " ―Times Literary Supplement"... this is a stimulating, even moving, book, dense with ideas and with many quotable lines." ―The New Statesman"Wark is one of the most original and interesting cultural critics writing today." ―Lawrence GrossbergMcKenzie Wark writes about the experience of everyday life under the impact of increasingly global media vectors. We no longer have roots, we have aerials. We no longer have origins, we have terminals.

How do stories of particular events turn into global myths, while others fade away? What becomes known and seen as a global iconic event? In Stories without Borders, Julia Sonnevend considers the ways in which we recount and remember news stories of historic significance. Focusing on journalists covering the fall of the Berlin Wall and on subsequent retellings of the event in a variety of ways - from Legoland reenactments to slabs of the Berlin Wall installed in global cities - Sonnevend discusses how certain events become built up so that people in many parts of the world remember them for long periods of time. She argues that five dimensions determine the viability and longevity of international news events. First, a foundational narrative must be established with certain preconditions. Next, the established narrative becomes universalized and a mythical message developed. This message is then condensed and encapsulated in a simple phrase, a short narrative, and a recognizable visual scene. Counter-narratives emerge that reinterpret events and in turn facilitate their diffusion across multiple media platforms and changing social and political contexts. Sonnevend examines these five elements through the developments of November 9, 1989 - what came to be known as the fall of the Berlin Wall. Stories Without Borders concludes with a discussion of how global iconic events have an enduring effect on individuals and societies, pointing out that after common currencies, military alliances, and international courts have failed, stories may be all that we have to bring hope and unity.
