NEW AND UPDATED ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL BOOK ON DIGITAL MEDIA
This book introduces readers to the vast and rich world of digital media. It provides a strong starting point for understanding digital media's social and political significance to our cultures-drawing on an emergent and increasingly rich set of empirical and theoretical studies on the role and development of digital media in contemporary societies. Touching on the core points behind the discipline, the book addresses a wide range of topics, including media economics, gender and race, sociality, culture, and power.
Presented in six sections-Media and Digital Technologies; The Information Society; Cultures and Identities; Digital Collaboration; Public Sphere and Power; Digital Economies-the book offers in-depth chapter coverage of new and old media; platforms and algorithms; information economy and globalization; the history of computers; social media; media and identity; open source and innovation; politics and social movements; surveillance and control; labor and consumption; global inequalities and development; and more.
- Delivers a reliable, compact and quick introduction to the core issues analyzed by digital culture studies and sociology of information societies
- Interweaves main topics and theories with several examples and up-to-date case studies, often linked to our everyday lives on the internet, as well as suggestions for further readings
- Anchors examples to discussions of the main sociological, political, and anthropological theoretical approaches at stake to help students make sense of the changes brought about by digital media
- Uses critical sociological and political theory alongside every day examples to discuss concepts such as online sociality, digital labor, digital value creation, and algorithmic identity
Clear and concise throughout, Introduction to Digital Media is an excellent primer for those teaching and studying digital culture and media.
