This book brings together contributions from scholars across Europe
to present findings from a foresight analysis exercise on audiences
and audience analysis, looking towards an increasingly datafied
world and anticipating the ubiquity of the internet of things. The
book uses knowledge emerging out of three foresight exercises,
produced in co-operation with more than 50 stake-holding
organisations and building on systematic reviews of audience
research. It works through these exercises to arrive at a renewed
agenda for audience studies within communication scholarship in the
context of intrusive and connected interfaces and emerging
communicative practices.
This book offers a nuanced understanding of 'offensive' television
content by drawing on an extensive research project, involving
in-depth interviews and focus groups with audiences in Britain and
Germany. Provocative Screens asks: what makes something really
offensive and to whom in what context? Why it offence felt so
differently? And how does offensive content matter in public life,
regulation, and institutional understandings?
This book explores the experiences of new fathers struggling with
mental health difficulties and focuses on the role of digital media
as part of their approaches to coping. Hodkinson and Das show how
the ways new fathers are positioned by society can make it hard for
them to recognize their struggles as legitimate, or reach out for
help. The book explores a range of different uses of digital
communication by struggling fathers, from selective forms of
disconnection, to the seeking out of online information or support.
The authors highlight the significance even of the smallest digital
acts as part of coping journeys and outline the development of
tentative or hidden attempts to reach out for help, and the
potential for supportive digital interactions to emerge. The book's
conclusions highlight the agentic possibilities digital media might
offer for struggling new fathers, while emphasizing the need for
improvements in how they are prepared and supported by health
services and others.
Early Motherhood in Digital Societies offers a nuanced
understanding of what the digital turn has meant for new mothers in
an intense and critical period before and after they have a baby,
often called the 'perinatal' period. The book looks at an array of
digital communication and content by drawing on an extensive
research project involving in-depth qualitative data from
interviews with new mothers in the United Kingdom and online case
studies. These stories are analysed to investigate the complexity
of emotions around birth, the diversity of birth experiences and
the myriad ways in which television, the press and social media
impede and empower women giving birth. The book asks: what does the
use of technology mean in the perinatal context and what
implications might it have for maternal well-being? It argues for a
balanced and context-sensitive approach to the digital for maternal
well-being in the critical perinatal period. By doing this, the
book fills a gap in media studies, addressing itself to gaps within
audience analysis, health communication and parenting. It will be
essential reading for research and teaching modules in media
studies, cultural studies, sociology, health communication and
sociology of medicine and health.
