New book on small-scale Digital Storytelling: "Digital Storytelling, Mediatized Stories: Self-representations in New Media" Edited by Knut Lundby (Peter Lang) Recent years have seen amateur personal stories, focusing on "me" flourish on social networking sites and in digital storytelling workshops. The resulting digital stories could be called "mediatized stories." This book deals with these self-representational stories, aiming to understand the transformations in the age-old practice of storytelling that have become possible with the new, digital media. Among the contributors to this volume are Nick Couldry, Kirsten Drotner, Nancy Thumim, David Gauntlett, Ola Erstad and John Hartley. The book draws upon the "Mediatized Stories" project www.intermedia.uio.no/mediatized/ and also relates to the research on digital storytelling at QUT in Australia www.cci.edu.au Says Sonia Livingstone, LSE, London: "In this insightful and original volume, international scholars draw on an exciting range of perspectives to understand the transformative potential of digital media for human expression and recognition of others." www.intermedia.uio.no/mediatized/publications www.peterlang.com/index.cfm?vID=310273&vLang=E&vHR=1&vUR=2&vUUR=1
