This edited collection presents new work by leading international 
scholars that addresses the multi-layered meaning of frictions within 
empirical and theoretical research across media and communications, 
digital technologies, culture and society.

It brings together an impressive range of transnational scholars to 
offer original perspectives on the dynamics of media friction as social 
tensions, instabilities and power inequalities. Together, the chapters 
provide a timely opportunity to understand both the creative force and 
negative consequences of frictions within media and society.
