The starting point for this */Special Section on Media Times/*is the 
assumption that media make and remake time: Written chronicles 
reconstruct the historical past, televised live news use technological 
tools to recreate a sense of immediate presence, and now-oriented 
digital media seem to compress and accelerate time scales endlessly. At 
the same time, commentators are suggesting that we are living in the age 
of media: Ideas of mediatization argue that the central role of media in 
the perception of time is becoming increasingly important. These two 
ways of thinking about media and time have inspired this Special 
Section. Guest-edited by *Anne Kaun, Johan Fornäs* and *Staffan Ericson* 
at Södertörn University, this collection of work presents 12 original 
articles (including the editorial introduction) that discuss how media 
and time are interrelated.

The Special Section divides the discussion of media and time into three 
general streams (a) history and memory; (b) liveness and simultaneous 
co-presence; and (c) cultural techniques and infrastructures. The 
articles gathered in the three clusters combine the presentation of 
unique empirical material with complex theoretical discussions and bring 
to the fore the renewed interested in the temporality of media 
technologies and media technologies’ temporalizing affordances. The 
Special Section emerged in the context of the interdisciplinary 
Mediatization Times Network, which received generous funding from the 
Swedish foundation for humanities and social sciences /Riksbankens 
Jubileumsfond/.

We invite you to read the articles in this new Special Section that
