This volume puts together the works of a group of distinguished
scholars and active researchers in the field of media and
communication studies to reflect upon the past, present, and future
of new media research. The chapters examine the implications of new
media technologies on everyday life, existing social institutions,
and the society at large at various levels of analysis. Macro-level
analyses of changing techno-social formation - such as discussions
of the rise of surveillance society and the "fifth estate" - are
combined with studies on concrete and specific new media phenomena,
such as the rise of Pro-Am collaboration and "fan labor" online. In
the process, prominent concepts in the field of new media studies,
such as social capital, displacement, and convergence, are
critically examined, while new theoretical perspectives are
proposed and explicated. Reflecting the inter-disciplinary nature
of the field of new media studies and communication research in
general, the chapters interrogate into the problematic through a
range of theoretical and methodological approaches. The book should
offer students and researchers who are interested in the social
impact of new media both critical reviews of the existing
literature and inspirations for developing new research questions.
