Re-Inventing the Media (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Re-Inventing the Media provides a highly original re-thinking of media studies for the contemporary post-broadcast, post-analogue, and post-mass media era.

While much has been made of the changes that have come from digital technologies, these constitute only part of the transformations that have taken place over the last two decades.

Turner takes on the task of re-thinking how media studies approaches the whole of the contemporary media-scape by focusing on three large, cross-platform, and transnational themes: the decline of the mass media paradigm, the ongoing restructuring of the relations between the media and the state, and the structural and social consequences of celebrity culture.
