Description
Media/Theory: Thinking about Media and Communications is an accessible yet challenging guide to ways of thinking about media and communications in modern life. Shaun Moores draws on ideas from a range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, connecting the analysis of media and communications with key themes in contemporary social theory.
This book examines core issues of time and space, interactions, signification, and identity, arguing that media studies is bound up in the wider processes of the modern world. It makes a distinctive contribution towards rethinking the shape and direction of media studies today, making it suitable for students at advanced undergraduate or postgraduate level.
