This Handbook offers a comprehensive overview of media
domestication - the process of appropriating new media and
technology - and delves into the theoretical, conceptual and social
implications of the field's advancement. Combining the work of the
long-established experts in the field with that of emerging
scholars, the chapters explore both the domestication concept
itself and domestication processes in a wide range of fields, from
smartphones used to monitor drug use to the question of time in the
domestication of energy buildings. The international team of
authors provide an accessible and thorough assessment of key
issues, themes, and problems with and within domestication
research, and showcase the most important developments over the
years. This truly interdisciplinary collection will be an important
resource for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and academic
scholars in media, communication and cultural studies, sociology,
anthropology, cultural geography, design studies and social studies
of technology.
This is a state-of-the-art survey of an emerging area of study in
media, communication and cultural studies, mobility studies and
mobile communications. 'Mobile socialities' demarcates a new area
of research that captures people's various and contrary experiences
of media in relation to their mobilities and socialities. The
chapters in this volume are written by a range of international
scholars offering a comprehensive overview and source of
inspiration for a diverse range of topics on the contingent
practices and finite resources of people and media on the move. The
book demonstrates through empirical and theoretical research how
mobile socialities is a generative concept for thinking through
power, identity and the contexts of media in public and mediated
spaces, work and everyday life, addressing a spectrum of mobile
socialities and lived politics. The research and various cases make
visible previously hidden, or obscured, social practices and allow
us to rethink the meanings of mobility, digital media or the home
in these examples of people living within the centre and
peripheries of society. The Handbook establishes mobile socialities
as a new area of academic enquiry, ideal for advanced undergraduate
students and scholars across the disciplines of media,
communication and cultural studies, anthropology, cultural
geography and sociology.
Exploring mediated time, this book contemplates how far (and in
what ways) media and time are intertwined from a diverse set of
theoretical and empirical angles. It builds from theoretical
discussions concerning the question of mediation and the normative
framing of time (especially acceleration) and works its way through
questions of time for/of one's own, resisting temporalities,
polychronicity, in-between-time, simultaneity and other time
concepts. It further examines specific time frames, imaginations of
a media future and the past, questions of online journalism and
multitasking or liveness. Bringing together authors from diverse
backgrounds, this collection presents a rich combination of
milestone articles, new empirical research, enriching theoretical
work and interviews with leading researchers to bridge sociology,
media studies, and science and technology studies in one of the
first book-length publications on the emerging field of media and
time.

This book provides an overview of a key concept in media and
technology studies: domestication. Theories around domestication
shed light upon the process in which a technology changes its
status from outrageous novelty to an aspect of everyday life which
is taken for granted. The contributors collect past, current and
future applications of the concept of domestication, critically
reflect on its theoretical legacy, and offer comments about further
development. The first part of Domestication of Media and
Technology provides an overview of the conceptual development and
theory of domestication. In the second part of the book,
contributors look at a diverse range of empirical studies that use
the domestication approach to examine the dynamics between users
and technologies. These studies include: Mobile information and
communications techologies (ICTs) and the transformation of the
relationship between private and the public spheres Home-based
internet use: the two-way dynamic between the household and its
social environment Disadvantaged women in Europe undertaking
introductory internet courses Urban middle-class families in China
who embrace ICTs and view them as instruments of upward mobility
and symbols of success The book offers valuable insights for both
experienced researchers and students looking for an introduction to
the concept of domestication. Contributors: Maria Bakardjieva,

In heutigen Gesellschaften stehen soziale, informationelle und
raumliche Mobilitat und digitale Kommunikationsmedien in einem
engen Zusammenhang. Medien werden dabei nicht nur immer mobiler,
sondern die Menschen verwenden sie auch zunehmend zum Zwecke
kommunikativer Mobilitat. Die vielfaltigen Dimensionen
individueller wie gesellschaftlicher Mobilitats- und
Mobilisierungsprozesse werden aus einer kommunikations- und
mediensoziologischen Perspektive sowohl theoretisch als auch
empirisch verortet. Dabei werden die Ertrage bisheriger
Forschungsansatze kritisch reflektiert und ein Blick auf zukunftige
Forschungsherausforderungen geworfen und damit neue Impulse fur die
Diskussion geliefert."
Digitale Medientechnologien wie z.B. Mobiltelefonie oder das
Internet spielen immer starker eine zentrale Rolle sowohl fur
unsere Gesellschaft als auch fur unsere Alltagswelt. Dabei sind sie
keineswegs allein Voraussetzung kommunikativer und medialer
Prozesse, sondern sind auf das Engste mit kulturellen und sozialen
Kontexten verbunden. Alle diese Bezuge verandern sich in
wechselseitiger Einflussnahme und mit hoher Dynamik. Der Band
reflektiert den Ertrag bisheriger kommunikationswissenschaftlicher
Forschungsansatze zu digitalen Medientechnologien und wirft einen
Blick auf zukunftige Forschungsherausforderungen.
Der Kern des historischen wie gegenwartigen Medien- und
Kommunikationswandels ist weniger darin zu sehen, dass einzelne
Medieninhalte eine ,Wirkung' auf Kultur und Gesellschaft haben.
Vielmehr ist er darin zu sehen, dass unsere heutige Alltagswelt
selbst zunehmend von Medien durchdrungen wird: Wir leben in einer
mediatisierten Alltagswelt. Doch was heisst dies konkret? Und wie
verandert sich unser Alltag mit seiner fortschreitenden
Mediatisierung? Auf diese Fragen geben Beitrage von renommierten
Autorinnen und Autoren ausgehend von Friedrich Krotz' Konzept der
Mediatisierung eine Antwort.
Der Band gibt einen einfuhrenden UEberblick uber die verschiedenen
Aspekte und Dimensionen der Kopplung von Medien, Arbeit und
Gesellschaft. Zu diesem Zweck vereint der Sammelband verschiedene
theoretische Perspektiven (u.a. aus der Kommunikations- und
Mediensoziologie, Medienoekonomie und Journalismusforschung) wie
methodische Zugange (u.a. Medienethnographie, Befragung oder
Inhaltsanalyse).
