Cultures, Technologies and Meanings

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Media technologies have played a central role in shaping ideas about home life over the last two centuries. This book explores the complex relationship between home, householders, families and media technologies by charting the evolution of the media-rich home, from the early twentieth century to the present.

Moving beyond a narrow focus on media texts, production and audiences, this title investigates the physical presence of media objects in the home and their symbolic importance. It also explores the role of home-based media in altering relationships between home, leisure, work and the outside world, offering in-depth case studies on the processes involved in media's home adoption.
