Digital Media, Sharing and Everyday Life provides nuanced accounts
of the processes of sharing in digital culture and the complexities
that arise in them. The book explores definitions of sharing, and
the roles that our digital devices and the platforms we use play in
these practices. Drawing upon practice theory to outline a
theoretical framework of sharing practice, the book emphasizes the
need for a coherent and consistent framework of sharing in digital
culture and explains what this framework might look like. With
insightful descriptions, the book draws out the relationship of
sharing to privacy and control, the labored strategies and
boundaries of reciprocation, and our relationships with the
technologies which mediate sharing practices. The volume is an
essential read for researchers, postgraduate and undergraduate
students in Media and Communication, New Media, Sociology, Internet
Studies, and Cultural Studies.

This is the first academic book to examine the long running hit
series Grand Designs, which occupies a significant place in the
popular imagination internationally. The authors apply an
empirically grounded, critical perspective to the study of
television to reveal how people use the program in their everyday
lives. The emphasis on everyday uses and meanings combines
creatively with understanding the program theoretically, textually
and in terms of its production structures. This position challenges
framings of the popular lifestyle and factual television genre that
has been dominated by a neoliberal or governmentality perspective
for many years. Presented by British designer and writer, Kevin
McCloud, Grand Designs follows the progress of home owners as they
embark on design, renovation and building projects at almost always
dizzying scales of endeavour. Understanding the program as both a
text to analyse and a site of material impact, the book draws on
interviews with production members, home renovators, building
practitioners and audiences, as well as references to associated
media formats to provide contextual depth to the analysis. The
authors argue that, as a cultural object, the program is both
shaped by and enacts social discourses of home-making, design value
and taste. Navigating public, commercial and promotional logics,
Grand Designs sparks new forms of cultural production and consumer
markets.
