Value and the Media - Cultural Production and Consumption in Digital Markets (Paperback): Goeran Bolin Value and the Media - Cultural Production and Consumption in Digital Markets (Paperback)
Goeran Bolin
R1,582 Discovery Miles 15 820 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Value is seldom discussed in its own right, though it is of utmost importance to our relations with media texts and cultural objects, as we constantly make judgements of various kinds with respect to them. This book focuses on how value - aesthetic, political and social and economic value - is produced in contemporary media and cultural production. Contending that value is not constituted by the essence of a thing, but is rather produced in social relations, through negotiations and justifications, Value and the Media discusses changes in the cultural industries over the past two decades, emphasising the rise of new, digital media, and the opportunities that these afford for the production and consumption of media texts and objects. Richly illustrated with examples from the UK, USA and Europe, this volume explores a range of media: both old mass media and new personal media, with a constant focus on the importance of both for our understanding of the changes that have occurred on the media landscape and their implications for the production of value. As such, this book will be of interest to social scientists and theorists working in the fields of cultural and media studies, popular culture, and consumption.

Dynamics Of Mediatization - Institutional Change and Everyday Transformations in a Digital Age (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017):... Dynamics Of Mediatization - Institutional Change and Everyday Transformations in a Digital Age (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017)
Olivier Driessens, Goeran Bolin, Andreas Hepp, Stig Hjarvard
R4,826 Discovery Miles 48 260 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This volume sheds light on the underlying dynamics of mediatization, disentangling the actual unfolding of mediatization processes. The wide adoption and deep embedding of digital media and technology brings new questions to mediatization studies: how can we grasp this 'deep mediatization'? In which way should we develop existing approaches of mediatization to analyse such dynamics? What are the consequences of this for theorising and empirically studying mediatization? By using these questions as a starting point, this book presents an innovative and original collection that is dedicated to both the underlying dynamics of mediatization and recent dynamics related to digital media.

Digital Media and the Dynamics of Civil Society - Retooling Citizenship in New EU Democracies (Hardcover): Maria Bakardjieva,... Digital Media and the Dynamics of Civil Society - Retooling Citizenship in New EU Democracies (Hardcover)
Maria Bakardjieva, Stina Bengtsson, Goeran Bolin, Kjell Engelbrekt
R3,618 Discovery Miles 36 180 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Based on an extended empirical research project, this book advances the theoretical, normative and practical understanding of civil society under the conditions of digital mediatization and in relation to a set of particular historical and geopolitical circumstances. Digital Media and the Dynamics of Civil Society adds to existing knowledge of the democratizing role of digital media in communication studies by carefully tracing the trajectory of the emergent communicative and representational practices of civil society in a pair of new European democracies - Estonia and Bulgaria - facing distinctive socio-cultural and political challenges. The book combines macro and micro perspectives to illuminate the activities of civic activist and civil society organizations in the new media environment taking into account the social and cultural developments characteristic of each country. Have digital media contributed to the constitution of a new public space fostering the vitality and democratic potency of civil society in countries where it has suffered historical obstacles? These chapters address this question by traversing the whole range between personal, group and societal beliefs, lived experiences and actions unfolding in a concrete region at a time when civic activists around the world are grappling to understand and harness the powers of digital communication.
