[ecrea] Mediatization of Communication (HoCS 21) (ed. Knut Lundby)

This handbook on Mediatization of Communication uncovers the 
interrelation between media changes and changes in culture and society. 
This is essential to understand contemporary trends and transformations.
"Mediatization” characterizes changes in practices, cultures and 
institutions in media-saturated societies, thus denoting transformations 
of these societies themselves.
This volume offers 31 contributions by leading media and communication 
scholars from the humanities and social sciences, with different 
approaches to mediatization of communication. The chapters span from how 
mediatization meets climate change and contribute to globalization to 
questions on life and death in mediatized settings. The book deals with 
mass media as well as communication with networked, digital media.
The topic of this volume makes a valuable contribution to the 
understanding of contemporary processes of social, cultural and 
political changes. The handbook provides the reader with the most 
current state of mediatization research.
