*Keywords for Media Studies***

/Edited by Laurie Ouellette & Jonathan Gray///

The Essential vocabulary of Media Studies

/Keywords for Media Studies/introduces and aims to advance the field of 
critical media studies by tracing, defining, and problematizing its 
established and emergent terminology.  The book historicizes thinking 
about media and society, whether that means noting a long history of 
“new media,” or tracing how understandings of media “power” vary across 
time periods and knowledge formations.

Bringing together an impressive group of established scholars from 
television studies, film studies, sound studies, games studies, and 
more, each of the 65 essays in the volume focuses on a critical concept, 
from “fan” to “industry,” and “celebrity” to “surveillance.” /Keywords 
for Media Studies/ is an essential tool that introduces key terms, 
research traditions, debates, and their histories, and offers a sense of 
the new frontiers and questions emerging in the field of media studies.
