Provides new perspectives on the increasingly complex
relationships between media forms and
formats, materiality, and meaning. Drawing on a range
of qualitative methodologies, our consideration of the
materiality of media is structured around three
overarching concepts: form – the physical qualities
of objects and the meanings which extend from them;
format – objects considered in relation to the protocols
which govern their use, and the meanings and
practices which stem from them; and ephemeral meaning
– the ways in which media artefacts are captured,
transformed, and redefined through changing
social, cultural, and technological values. Each section
includes empirical chapters which provide expansive
discussions of perspectives on media and
materiality. It considers a range of media
artefacts such as 8mm film, board games
maps, videogames, cassette tapes, transistor radios and
Twitter, amongst others. These are punctuated with a number
of short takes – less formal, often personal
takes exploring the meanings of media in context. We
seek to consider the materialities which emerge across the
broad and variegated range of the term’s use, and
to create spaces for conversation and debate about the
implications that this plurality of material meanings might
have for the study of study of media, culture, and
society.
