[Commlist] New Book: Mediatization(s): Theoretical Conversations between Europe and Latin America

Tue May 11 08:01:48 GMT 2021




Intellect is pleased to announce that /*Mediatization(s): Theoretical Conversations between Europe and Latin America <https://www.intellectbooks.com/mediatizations>*/, edited by Carlos A. Scolari, José L. Fernández and Joan R. Rodríguez-Amat, is now available in ebook and hardback.

This new collection is the first book to bring together Latin American and European traditions of mediatization research, integrating macro level theorization with applied observations of mediatization processes from a multidisciplinary perspective.

In the last decade, several European and Latin-American researchers have set a very solid theoretical corpus around mediatization. The book brings these two theoretical traditions close together for a dialogue: the Latin American sociosemiotic matrix consolidated by Eliseo Verón in the 1980s and the institutional and constructivist approaches developed in Europe. The main objective of the book is to explore and activate possible theoretical and applied exchanges between these approaches.

This book introduces the main theories and authors on mediatization from Europe and Latin America, especially Brazil and Argentina, in the last two decades. It historically and epistemologically frames these theories within the context of communication and media theories, and pays particular attention to the opportunities generated by the exchanges between European and Latin American approaches. It is edited by scholars from Spain, Argentina and the UK, and includes contributors from universities in France, Germany, Switzerland, Brazil, Denmark and The Netherlands.

If you are interested in hearing more about this book, the editors will be presenting the book online on *Thursday 13th May** (15:00 GMT).* For more information or to register to attend the event *please click here <https://eventum.upf.edu/64856/>.*
