Mediatization has emerged as a key concept to reconsider old, yet
fundamental questions about the role and influence of media in
culture and society. In particular the theory of mediatization has
proved fruitful for the analysis of how media spread to, become
intertwined with, and influence other social institutions and
cultural phenomena like politics, play and religion. This book
presents a major contribution to the theoretical understanding of
the mediatization of culture and society. This is supplemented by
in-depth studies of: The mediatization of politics: From party
press to opinion industry; The mediatization of religion: From the
faith of the church to the enchantment of the media; The
mediatization of play: From bricks to bytes; The mediatization of
habitus: The social character of a new individualism. Mediatization
represents a new social condition in which the media have emerged
as an important institution in society at the same time as they
have become integrated into the very fabric of social and cultural
life. Making use of a broad conception of the media as
technologies, institutions and aesthetic forms, Stig Hjarvard
considers how characteristics of both old and new media come to
influence human interaction, social institutions and cultural
imaginations.

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.
This year's volume of Northern Lights originates from the research
program Global Media Cultures. It is concerned with the ways in
which media take part in processes of globalization, including how
they challenge existing cultures and create new and alternative
symbolic and cultural environments. The volume addresses these
questions through theoretical discussions and re-examination of
existing international research and through a series of individual
empirical studies covering global media phenomena like the
Olympics, the talk show, international beauty contests, satellite
television, and media discourses on national culture.
This book engages with the mediatized dynamics of political,
military and cultural conflicts. In today's global and converging
media environment, the interrelationship between media and conflict
has been altered and intensified. No longer limited to the realms
of journalism and political communication, various forms of new
media have allowed other social actors to communicate and act
through media networks. Thus, the media not only play an important
role by reporting conflicts; they have also become co-constitutive
of the ways conflicts develop and spread. The first part of the
book, Transnational Networks, addresses the opportunities and
challenges posed by transnational media to actors seeking to engage
in and manage conflicts through new media platforms. The second
part, Mobilising the Personal: Crossing Public and Private
Boundaries, concerns the ways in which media framings of conflicts
often revolve around personal aspects of public figures. The third
part, Military, War, and Media, engages with a classic theme of
media studies - the power relationship between media, state, and
military - but in light of the mediatized condition of modern
warfare, in which the media have become an integrated part of
military strategies. The book develops new theoretical arguments
and a series of empirical studies that are essential reading for
students and scholars interested in the complex roles of media in
contemporary conflicts.
