This book argues for a historical perspective on issues relating to
the notion of participatory media. Working from a broad concept of
media - including essays on the 19th century press, early sound
media, photography, exhibitions, television and the internet - the
book offers a broad empirical approach to different modes of
audience participation from the mid 19th century to the present.
Using the insights from the historical case studies, the book also
explores some of the key concepts in discussions on the politics of
participation, arguing for a theoretical perspective sensitive to
the asymmetries that characterize the distribution of agency in the
relationship between media and users. Scholarly discussions on
participatory media now occur in several fields. This book argues
that all of these discussions are all too often obscured by a
rhetoric of newness, assuming that participatory media is something
unique in history, radical and revolutionary. By challenging the
historiography implicit in this rhetoric, the book also engages in
a discussion of issues of more general relevance to the
multidisciplinary field of media history.

Communicating the History of Medicine critically assesses the idea
of audience and communication in medical history. This collection
offers a range of case studies on academic outreach from historical
and current perspectives. It questions the kind of linear thinking
often found in policy or research assessment, instead offering a
more nuanced picture of both the promises and pitfalls of engaging
audiences for research in the humanities. For whom do academic
researchers in the humanities write? For academics and, indirectly,
at least for students, but there are hopes that work reaches
broader audiences and that it will have an impact on policy or
among professional experts outside of the humanities. Today impact
is more and more discussed in the context of research assessment.
Seen from a media theoretical perspective, impact may however be
described as a case of 'audiencing' and the creation of audiences
by means of media technologies. -- .
