Colleagues may be interested in the publication of the following new book:

*Hybrid Politics. Media and Participation* (SAGE Publications)
_by Laura Iannelli_

/Hybrid Politics/examines the combinations and competitions between 
older and newer media technologies, practices, actors, contents and 
logics, by exploring their potential and practical implications in terms 
of political participation.
In this /Swift/, Laura Iannelli analyses the 'hybridity' of politics in 
democratic societies from a multidisciplinary perspective, identifying 
the diverse forms of power and political participation that coexist 
within the contemporary complex media sphere, and which influence 
participation in the spheres of institutionalised and protest 
politics.Building upon renowned global research and original case 
studies, the book proposes an innovative and challenging analytic 
strategy to understand, explain, and problematise the contemporary 
complexity of political participation and communication.

"This rich, original, and engaging volume provides a new vernacular for 
understanding hybrid politics; paths to civic engagement that frequently 
fly under the radar and do not count as political. Through her 
discussion of pop protests, performative publics, polymedia, and civic 
engagement, Iannelli expertly synthesizes contemporary work to 
contribute her own, original take on the always-current question of the 
political. Smart, informed, and a must read for those interested in the 
political character of the net" - Zizi Papacharissi (University of 
Illinois at Chicago)

“Hybrid Politics covers the modern history of media and publics, from 
the mass media era to the age of social media. This comprehensive review 
of research in the field makes for a valuable sourcebook. Iannelli’s 
discussion of the changing relationships between citizens and media 
points out the need for new models to explain emerging forms of 
politics” - Lance Bennett (University of Washington)

“This scholarly book brings together concerns for political activism, 
democracy, new [and old] media and changing cultural practices. It makes 
an invaluable contribution to multidisciplinary social science thinking 
about ways in which our world is moving. Iannelli’s case studies – 
especially those from outside the US and UK – offer much needed 
illumination and understanding” - Frank Webster (City University London)

“Iannelli provides us with an insightful theorization and valuable 
resource for understanding the increasingly vital role played by 
communication in contemporary democratic politics” - Brian Loader 
(University of York)
