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

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
