ABSTRACT

This chapter explores how young migrants in Finland negotiate their identity through satellite viewing, adopting various positions from resistance to identification. It focuses on the various power relations connected with transnational media from the micro level of family life to the macro level of nation making. The chapter addresses the issues of satellite viewing with recent discussions of the public sphere as increasingly transnational and fragmented. Elements that contradict family values, such as strong violent or sexual images, are often avoided, since they cause awkward moments and potential conflicts. Values and boundaries of decency vary of course according to the family. The chapter examines the meanings of satellite television in the everyday life of young migrants and explored power relations related to the viewing in micro level. Satellite television highlights other macro-level concerns over national identities and preservation of national borders.
