Critical Terms for Media Studies by W J T Mitchell
Communications, philosophy, film and video, digital culture: media studies straddles an astounding array of fields and disciplines and produces a vocabulary that is in equal parts rigorous and intuitive. This title defines what this hybrid area aims to do, exploring our language for dealing with the qualities and modes of contemporary media.
"Critical Terms for Media Studies offers not simply a collection of critical terms, but a paradigm-shifting rethinking of the field itselfIt represents an extremely important approach to media in the twenty-first century, one that will become increasingly relevant as the ubiquity of new media and new technologies make the questions it raises more and more pressing. The book is a definitive and defining statement about the future shape and direction of media studies." - Charlie Gere, Lancaster University.
