Media Frictions, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This edited collection presents new work by leading international scholars that addresses the multi-layered meaning of frictions within empirical and theoretical research across media and communications, digital technologies, culture and society.

It brings together an impressive range of global scholars from media and communication, visual and cultural studies, to sociology, anthropology and cultural geography, and digital technology research, to critically examine the dynamics of friction, providing an original perspective on media frictions and a new understanding of the social tensions, instabilities and power inequalities of friction within media, culture and society. Together the chapters provide a timely opportunity to understand both the creative force, and negative consequences, of frictions within media and society.

The book will be of interest to scholars and students of television, media and cultural studies.
