Special issue of <3D.htm>MedieKultur. Journal of communication and
media research.
Guest editors: Jesper T=E6kke and Michael Paulsen
Submission deadline: February the 1st 2010
Publication date: December the 1st 2010
Niklas Luhmann has created a richly faceted and non deterministic
communication sociological theory about media, which opens for
analysis adequate to understanding contemporary interactions,
organizations and society. In his early main work Social Systems
from 1984 Luhmann works with three different types of media,
language, distribution media and symbolically gene= ralized
communication media, which evolutionary developed makes probable
that communicati= on will succeeds. In his late main work Die
Gesellschaft der Gesellsc= haft from 1997, as well as in many= other
books and articles, Luhmann also works with a general and abstract
concept = of media, which not only logically and theoretical
explains the three former t= ypes of media, but also can explain
many other phenomena in the contemporary society. In this issue we
would like to inves= tigate Luhmann and the media.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Discussions of Luhmann's theory of media in comparison with
other media theories.
* Applied stu= dies using Luhmanns theory of media in regard to:
Interaction media, for instance mobile phones, Messenger, e-mail,
Mass media, for inst= ance newspapers, TV, radio, WWW, Web 2.0
media, for instance You Tub= e, Wikipedia, Face Book.
* Studies of the use of Med= ia in Education, Organizations, Art etc.
* Studies of Media in a historical and/or social evolutionary
perspective.
