[ecrea] Open Access: "Communicative Figurations: Transforming Communications in Times of Deep Mediatization"

New book series „Transforming Communications“ (Palgrave Macmillan) 
starts with edited volume (OPEN ACCESS):

"Communicative Figurations: Transforming Communications in Times of Deep 
Mediatization“

edited by Andreas Hepp, Andreas Breiter and Uwe Hasebrink

This open access volume assesses the influence of our changing media 
environment. Today, there is not one single medium that is the driving 
force of change. With the spread of various technical communication 
media such as mobile phones and internet platforms, we are confronted 
with a media manifold of deep mediatization. But how can we investigate 
its transformative capability? This book answers this question by taking 
a non-media-centric perspective, researching the various figurations of 
collectivities and organizations humans are involved in. The first part 
of the book outlines a fundamental understanding of the changing media 
environment of deep mediatization and its transformative capacity. The 
second part focuses on collectivities and movements: communities in the 
city, critical social movements, maker, online gaming groups and 
networked groups of young people. The third part moves institutions and 
organizations into the foreground, discussing the transformation of 
journalism, religion, politics, and education, whilst the fourth and 
final part is dedicated to methodologies and perspectives.
