{"product_id":"media-convergence","title":"Media Convergence","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis second edition furthers conversations about the ongoing society-wide and worldwide digitalization of human communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReviewing the long lines in the history of media and communication – from writing via printing and broadcasting to computing – the book lays out three general types of media: the human body enabling face-to-face communication here and now; the technically reproduced means of mass communication across space and time; and the digital technologies integrating one-to-one, one-to-many, as well as many-to-many interactions. All these communicative practices coexist in contemporary media environments. Across cultures, genders, and age groups, people go on communicating in the flesh, via wires, and over the air, as illustrated though case studies of mobile communication on mundane matters, and of climate change as a global challenge for human communication and coexistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second edition includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdated accounts of research and public debate on digital media and communication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalyses of current social media and an emerging internet of things\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystematic presentations of digital as well as traditional empirical methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscussion of the normative implications of digitalization, including the classic rights of information and communication, and a right not to be communicated about through surveillance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterdisciplinary in scope to showcase the wide-reaching cultural consequences of media convergence, this book is ideal for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and scholars in the fields of media, communication, and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54237243310424,"sku":"9781032058740","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032058740.jpg?v=1779172259","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/media-convergence","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
