*Aims & Scope*

EME explores the relationships between media, technology, symbolic form, 
communication, consciousness, and culture. Its scope is 
interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary. Media ecology provides a rich 
philosophical, historical and practical context for studying our 
increasingly technological and mediated society and culture with an 
emphasis on historical context.

Media ecology scholarship emphasizes a humanistic approach to 
understanding media, communication, and technology, with special 
emphasis on the ways in which we have been and continue to be shaped and 
influenced by our inventions and innovation. The Media ecology approach 
is predicated on understanding that media, symbols, and technologies 
play a leading role in human affairs, and function as largely invisible 
environments affecting the way we think, feel, act, and organize 
ourselves collectively.
