Media in History: An Introduction to the Meanings and Transformations of Communication over Time

Autor Jukka Kortti
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2019
Since media is omnipresent in our lives, it is crucial to understand the complex means and dimensions of media in history, and how we have arrived at the current digital culture. Media in History addresses the increasing multidisciplinary need to comprehend the meanings and significances of media development through a variety of different approaches. Providing a concise, accessible and analytical synthesis of the history of communications, from the evolution of language to the growth of social media, this book also stresses the importance of understanding wider social and cultural contexts. Although technological innovations have created and shaped media, Kortti examines how politics and the economy are central to the development of communication. Media in History will benefit undergraduate and graduate history and media studies students who want to understand the complex structures of media as a historical continuum and to reflect on their own experiences with that development.

Recenzii

Kortti's aim to provide a historical perspective for the history of media is ambitious and far reaching. This is a useful textbook for those exploring the evolution of our modern digital media culture.
Kortti's Media in History is a wonderful addition to the media history landscape, because it places media history in a global framework that goes far beyond the US/European framework most authors use.
