Media, Voice, Space and Power: Essays of Refraction de Nick Couldry

Media, Voice, Space and Power: Essays of Refraction

Autor Nick Couldry
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 dec 2019
Nick Couldry is one of the world’s leading analysts of media power and voice, and has been publishing widely for 25 years. This volume, published 20 years after The Place of Media Power, brings together a rich collection of essays from his earliest to his latest writings, some of them hard to access, plus two previously unpublished chapters.
The book’s 15 chapters cover a variety of themes from voice to space, from Big Data to democracy, and from art to reality television. Taken together, they give a unique insight into the range of Couldry’s interests and passions. Throughout, Couldry’s commitment to connecting media research to wider debates in philosophy and social theory is clear. A substantial Afterword reflects on the common themes that run throughout his work and this volume, and the particular challenges of grasping media’s contribution to social order in an age of datafication. A preface by leading US media scholar Jonathan Gray sets these essays in context.
The result is an exciting and clearly-written text that will interest students and researchers of media, culture and social theory across the world.

Recenzii

‘It is a wonderful thing to read these marvellous essays of Nick Couldry, that stand the test of time, and offer us in a timely collection, a resonant and searching set of investigations into the central trajectories of media and culture. This is theory at its best, communicated in an unfailingly generous, bracingly refractory, and utterly distinctive voice. Essential and rewarding reading!’
Gerard Goggin, Professor of Communication and Information Nanyang Technological University
'If you dislike compilation volumes, this book will prove you wrong. Spanning key issues in culturalist media studies – from Princess Diana’s funeral to Big Data - Couldry offers a coherent and grounded exercise in intellectual wonder.'
Kirsten Drotner,University of Southern Denmark
'Strongly anchored in time and space, Couldry’s essays employ　a plurality of theoretical voices to advance our ability to make sense of what people do with media.'
Clemencia Rodríguez, Professor, Klein College of Media and Communication, Temple University
