In Making Media Studies, David Gauntlett turns media and
communications studies on its head. He proposes a vision of media
studies based around doing and making - not about the acquisition
of skills, as such, but an experience of building knowledge and
understanding through creative hands-on engagement with all kinds
of media. Gauntlett suggests that media studies scholars have
failed to recognise the significance of everyday creativity - the
vital drive of people to make, exchange, and learn together,
supported by online networks. He argues that we should think about
media in terms of conversations, inspirations, and making things
happen. Media studies can be about genuine social change, if we
recognise the significance of everyday creativity, work to
transform our tools, and learn to use them wisely. Making Media
Studies is a lively, readable, and heartfelt manifesto from the
author of Making is Connecting.
