Revitalising Audience Research - Innovations in European Audience Research (Paperback): Frauke Zeller, Cristina Ponte, Brian... Revitalising Audience Research - Innovations in European Audience Research (Paperback)

The revitalisation of audience studies is not only about new approaches and methods; it entails a crossing of disciplines and a bridging of long-established boundaries in the field. The aim of this volume is to capture the boundary-crossing processes that have begun to emerge across the discipline in the form of innovative, interdisciplinary interventions in the audience research agenda. Contributions to this volume seek to further this process though innovative, audience-oriented perspectives that firmly anchor media engagement within the diversity of contexts and purposes to which people incorporate media in their daily lives, in ways often unanticipated by industries and professionals.

This volume focuses on processes and means to revitalise the academic field of audience research. Ultimately, the revitalisation of audience studies not only means developing new approaches and methods; it also requires a 'Kuhnian discussion', in the sense of discussing the need for the introduction of new paradigms or conceptual developments into the field of audience research. This requires that researchers transcend established boundaries in the field, and entails both the need to cross disciplines (e.g., between the social sciences tradition and the critical/cultural tradition, or the computational tradition) and the need to bridge long-established boundaries in the field (e.g. between 'old media' and 'new media'; between mass communication and group communication; between content/production and audience/reception). Contributors therefore aim to facilitate this process of boundary crossing through a series of interdisciplinary debates across the full range of audience consumption and reception studies.

We are facing an environmental crisis that some say is ushering a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene, one that threatens not only a great deal of life on the planet but also our understanding of who we are and our relation to the natural world. In the face of this crisis it has become clear that we need a more sustainable culture. In fact the language of sustainability has become pervasive in our culture and has deeply ingrained itself in our understanding of what living a good life would entail. "Sustainability," however, is a contested word, and it carries with it, often implicitly and unacknowledged, deep philosophical claims that are entangled with all kinds of assumptions and power relations, some of them very problematic. This book attempts to set this urgent goal of sustainability free from its more reductive and harmful interpretations and to thereby apply a more thoughtful environmental ethics to current and emerging technologies, particularly those involving reproduction and the harnessing of energy that dominate our elemental relations to sun and air, wind and water, earth and forest. The book is divided into 4 sections: (1) Sustainability: A Contested Term, (2) Sustainability and Renewable Technologies: Sun, Air, Wind, Water, (3) Sustainability and Design, and (4) Sustainability and Ethics. The first section sets the context for our studies and opens a space for thinking sustainability in a more thoughtful way than is often the case in contemporary discussions. The next two sections are the heart of our contribution to postphenomenology and technoscience, and the essays, here, turn to concrete examinations of particular technologies and questions of technological design in the light of our environmental crisis. The fourth section closes the book by drawing some more general implications for ethics from the intersection of the foregoing themes.
