Details: Product Description
This volume provides new approaches to the concept of media logics – developed by Altheide and Snow – by drawing on theoretical and empirical perspectives from international scientists working in the field of communications, media, political science, and sociology. In an increasingly digitized and globalized world, powerful media structures and technologies influence our daily lives in many respects. It is not only mass media but ‘poly media channels’ that become more and more contextualized in everyday lives. Therefore, it is necessary to revisit the theory of media logics, which focuses on the strong intercorrelation of media technologies, media institutions and media power. Media Logic(s) Revisited attends to this by critically reflecting on the idea of media logic, a much needed input in light of current developments and strong cultural embedding of media in various social contexts.
Review
“The work is handsomely illustrated, with many line drawings, maps and sections, charts and colour images on all scales from the continental to the microscopic, including samples, outcrops and mines. This book is very worthwhile, most notably for its description of the mineral endowment of India, the mining sector in the country, and the social context and regulatory framework in which mines operate across India.” (Graham C. Wilson, Mineralium Deposita, Vol. 53, 2018)
From the Back Cover
This volume provides new approaches to the concept of media logics, developed by Altheide and Snow, by drawing on theoretical and empirical perspectives from international scientists working in the field of communications, media, political science, and sociology. In an increasingly digitized and globalized world, powerful media structures and technologies influence our daily lives in many respects. It is not only mass media but “poly medial channels“ that become more and more contextualized in everyday lives. It thus seems necessary to reflect on the theory of media logics, which in fact focuses on the strong intercorrelation of media technologies, media institutions and media power. The current developments and strong cultural embedding of media in various social contexts, however, call for critical reflections on the idea of media logic.
