Cultures of Mediatization by Andreas Hepp
* An engaging analysis of an emerging, cutting-edge area of media studies. * This accessible text draws is driven by empirical examples and terminology is clearly introduced and explained.'The great virtue of Cultures of Mediatization is that the book proposes an entente cordiale between media scholarship and social theoryThe idea of mediatization as a historical process—akin to other large-scale changes that have long preoccupied sociologists—is genuinely exciting. It is, in my view, the beachhead upon which a genuine dialogue could be launched.'
International Journal of Communication
'This book is a contribution of major importance. It has a well-focused, original and stimulating argument which I think will quickly be recognized as taking current debates about mediatization considerably further forward.'
Nick Couldry, Goldsmiths, University of London
'For those unfamiliar with the concept of mediatization, Andreas Hepp opens up some stimulating new directions for media studies. For those already working with the concept, Hepp’s integrative theoretical analysis plus refreshing questioning will prove equally stimulating.'
Sonia Livingstone, London School of Economics and Political Science
