Mediatization and Mobile Lives: A Critical Approach contributes to
a complex, situated and critical understanding of what
mediatization means and how it works in contemporary life. The book
explores the tension between the extended capabilities offered by
media technology and growing media reliance, focusing particularly
on mobile middle-class lives. It problematizes how mediatization is
culturally legitimized in our times, when connectivity and mobility
are increasingly seen as mandatory elements of self-realization.
Supported by extensive fieldwork carried out in contexts of
gentrification, elite cosmopolitanism and post-tourism, Andre
Jansson advances a critical, cultural materialist perspective of
mediatization as he examines how people are torn between the new
opportunities afforded by their mobile lives and the feeling of
being trapped by our connected media culture. Mediatization and
Mobile Lives offers an engaging and critical exploration of the
interplay between mediatization, individualization and
globalization, making it an ideal resource for students and
scholars of Media and Communication.
