Arjun Appadurai speaks about the complexity of global mediascapes (Appadurai, 1996: 33), understanding them as \u201cfluid, irregular shapes\u201d of mediated communicative flows. Or Ien Ang has discussed the indeterminacy as a result of the \u201ctoo many, unpredictable determinations\u201d (Ang, 1996: 172 \u2013 emphasis in original) of global media culture. Based on arguments like these, a discussion is emerging about de-westernising (Curran &amp; Park, 2000) and internationalising (Thussu, 2009) media and communication studies that is seen as necessary to address the translocal communicative connections of the present global media age. On the other hand, we notice a striking narrowness in the methodological approach of much comparative media and communication research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bruegge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/communicative-approaches.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-420\" width=\"195\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"http:\/\/bruegge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/communicative-approaches.jpg 450w, http:\/\/bruegge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/communicative-approaches-201x300.jpg 201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 195px) 85vw, 195px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hepp, Andreas; M\u00f6ller, Johanna; Kleinen-von K\u00f6nigsl\u00f6w, Katharina; Br\u00fcggemann, Michael; Lingenberg, Swantje (2009): Political Discourse Cultures in Europe.
