Description
The construction of reality in our everyday world is being reshaped by digital media and social media platforms driven by data processes. Fifty years after Berger and Luckmann's influential work, two leading sociologists of media, Nick Couldry and Andreas Hepp, revisit the question of how social theory can understand these processes.
They draw on the ideas of Schütz, Elias, and other social and media theorists to explore the implications of digital media's profound involvement in shaping our world. The result is a complex picture: one that raises questions about the stability and livability of our social world.
This book offers a thought-provoking analysis of the impact of digital media on our understanding of reality, inviting readers to consider the consequences of a world increasingly mediated by data-driven platforms.
