A thorough analysis of contemporary digital media practices,
showing how people increasingly not only consume but also produce
and even design media. With many new forms of digital
media-including such popular social media as Facebook, Twitter, and
Flickr-the people formerly known as the audience no longer only
consume but also produce and even design media. Jonas Loewgren and
Bo Reimer term this phenomenon collaborative media, and in this
book they investigate the qualities and characteristics of these
forms of media in terms of what they enable people to do. They do
so through an interdisciplinary research approach that combines the
social sciences and humanities traditions of empirical and
theoretical work with practice-based, design-oriented
interventions. Loewgren and Reimer offer analysis and a series of
illuminating case studies-examples of projects in collaborative
media that range from small multidisciplinary research experiments
to commercial projects used by millions of people. Loewgren and
Reimer discuss the case studies at three levels of analysis:
society and the role of collaborative media in societal change;
institutions and the relationship of collaborative media with
established media structures; and tribes, the nurturing of small
communities within a large technical infrastructure. They conclude
by advocating an interventionist turn within social analysis and
media design.
