Mediatization and New Media

International research workshop by ECREA TWG Mediatization

University of Copenhagen, Denmark

March 15-16, 2013



New media like the Internet and mobile phones have come to play a crucial role in contemporary culture and society. They have not only reconfigured the entire media landscape and transformed older forms of mass media but have become integrated into the very fabric of social life in a variety of social, political and cultural domains. In this research workshop we will consider the influence of new media through the theoretical framework of mediatization. Mediatization has emerged as a key concept to theorize and empirically investigate how media are implicated in social and cultural change across a variety of domains like family life, work, politics, economy, religion and warfare. Early mediatization theory was focused on the influence of mass media and the spread of new media may both question key propositions of mediatization theory and provide evidence for a more pronounced and complex mediatization of social, political and cultural phenomena. New media reconfigure and diversify processes of communication and interaction at the same time as they become institutionalized and come to influence new patterns of power relationships.
