"Communication as the intersection of the old and the new" (Bremen: 
edition lumière) was edited by Maria Francesca Murru, Fausto Colombo, 
Laura Peja, Simone Tosoni, Richard Kilborn, Risto Kunelius, Pille 
Pruulmann-Vengerfeldt, Leif Kramp and Nico Carpentier.

This book, the fourteenth in the Researching and Teaching Communication 
Book Series launched in 2006, stems from the communal intellectual work 
of the lecturers, the students and the alumni of the 2018 edition of the 
European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School (SuSo).

The book gives an account of the plurality of research interests and 
analytical perspectives that the SuSo community values as its main 
asset. What was especially apparent in this year’s cluster of 
contributions is that our field of study integrates a wide variety of 
media technologies (ranging from old to new), demonstrating that 
contemporary societies are not characterized by the replacement of 
technologies, but by the always unique articulations, integrations and 
intersections of old and new. The book is structured in four sections: 
1) Theories and Concepts 2) Media and the Construction of Social Reality 
3) Mediatizations 4) Media, Health and Sociability

Contributors are: Fatoş Adiloğlu, Magnus Andersson, Nico Carpentier, Xu 
Chen, Vaia Doudaki, Edgard Eeckman, Timo Harjuniemi, Kari Karppinen, 
Alyona Khaptsova, Ludmila Lupinacci, Fatma Nazlı Köksal, Ondrej Pekacek, 
Michael Skey, Piia Tammpuu, Ruben Vandenplas, Konstanze Wegmann and 
Karsten D. Wolf. The book additionally contains abstracts of the 
doctoral projects that were discussed at the 2018 European Media 
Communication Doctoral Summer School.

The book was published by edition lumière, Bremen 
(http://www.editionlumiere.de). The book is a part of the Researching 
and Teaching Communication Series, edited by Nico Carpentier and Pille 
Pruulmann-Vengerfeldt (see http://www.researchingcommunication.eu). The 
publishing of this book was supported by Università Cattolica del Sacro 
Cuore (Milan) and the European Communication Research and Education 
Association (ECREA).
