[ecrea] ECREA Book Series Digital Photography and Everyday Life: Empirical studies on material visual practices

Tue Jun 21 13:25:15 GMT 2016




It is our pleasure to announce that the new book in our ECREA Book Series with the title Digital Photography and Everyday Life: Empirical studies on material visual practices edited by Edgar Gómez Cruz and Asko Lehmuskallio has been published in the Routledge Studies in European Communication Research and Education. All ECREA second year or more individual members and all coordinators of institutional and associated members will receive a free copy of the book.

With contributors from ten different countries and backgrounds in a range of academic disciplines - including anthropology, media studies and visual culture - this collection takes a uniquely broad perspective on photography by situating the image-making process in wider discussions on the materiality and visuality of photographic practices and explores these through empirical case studies.

By focusing on material visual practices, the book presents a comprehensive overview of some of the main challenges digital photography is bringing to everyday life. It explores how the digitization of photography has a wide-reaching impact on the use of the medium, as well as on the kinds of images that can be produced and the ways in which camera technology is developed. The exploration goes beyond mere images to think about cameras, mediations and technologies as key elements in the development of visual digital cultures.

Digital Photography and Everyday Life will be of great interest to students and scholars of Photography, Contemporary Art, Visual Culture and Media Studies, as well as those studying Communication, Cultural Anthropology, and Science and Technology Studies.

The new addition to the ECREA Book Series was ranked first in the evaluation of wave 11 book proposals and as such subsidised by ECREA. 510 copies of this book have been shipped to our second or more year individual members and to the coordinators of our associated and institutional members.

By sending a copy of this book to ECREA's core membership, the organisation wishes not only to express its appreciation for these members' continued support, but also to maximise this publication's audience and circulation.

The ECREA Book Series consists of books arising from the intellectual work of ECREA members, as (according to our publication guidelines) at least one of the editors and half of the authors need to be an ECREA member. Books address themes relevant to ECREA’s interests, make a major contribution to the theory, research, practice and/or policy literature, are European in scope, and represent a diversity of perspectives.

ECREA considers the investment in the Book Series an important contribution to one of its main objectives, which is to stimulate European communication and media studies research.
