[ecrea] New book - Mediated Youth Cultures

I'm delighted to announce a new book, that may be of interest to you - 
/Mediated Youth Cultures: The internet, belonging, and new cultural 
configurations/ - just published by Palgrave.

http://www.palgrave.com/page/detail/?K=9781137287014

It's an edited collection of thirteen essays from around the world 
covering topics such as growing up stories on Facebook, the phenomenon 
of dance imitations on YouTube, the circulation of zines online, the 
resurgence of roller derby on the social web, mediated drinking 
cultures, Israeli design blogs, the circulation of Korean pop music, and 
more.

In some ways, this book follows on from a special issue of the journal 
/Continuum/ published in 2012 on the same topic 
(http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/ccon20/26/3). TOC for the book is below.

Cheers,
Brady (co-editor, with Andy Bennett)
