Kurzbeschreibung
"Very interesting and thought-provoking" - John Naughton, University of Cambridge, and columnist, The Observer
"A lovely collection... a must-read" - Stephen Harrington, Queensland University of Technology, Australia
Online participatory culture means that people who were previously just consumers of media can now be much more active and engaged, producing and distributing their own creative material, as well as enjoying professional and amateur work from around the world. Has this fundamentally changed what Media Studies is all about?
The idea of ‘Media Studies 2.0’ has been the subject of intense debate since it was proposed by David Gauntlett in 2007. For the first time, Media Studies 2.0, and Other Battles around the Future of Media Research brings together the original essay alongside more recent responses and rejoinders. This Kindle book includes brand new introduction and conclusion chapters, and other previously unpublished material, as well as a lively interview where Gauntlett tackles a range of issues around creativity, participation, and social media.
David Gauntlett is Professor of Media and Communications at the University of Westminster, UK. He is the author of several books, including 'Creative Explorations' (2007) and 'Making is Connecting: The social meaning of creativity, from DIY and knitting to YouTube and Web 2.0' (2011).
