Parlux Communication and Information Technologies Annual: [New] Media Cultures: 11 (Studies in Media and Communications, 11)

Sponsored by the Communication and Information Technologies Section of the American Sociological Association, this volume examines wide-ranging aspects of culture, communication, and [new] media broadly defined. Themes include the interplay between [new] media and any of the following: culture, communication, technology, convergence, the arts, cultural production, and cultural change in the digital age. Contributions shed light on emergent phenomena that -sociologists, particularly those studying media or communication, culture scholars will find intriguing. Review Editors Robinson, Schulz, Cotten, Hale, Williams, and Hightower present readers with a collection of academic essays and research papers devoted to the intersection of new media, culture, and society. The selections that make up the main body of the text are focused on communication cultures; the intersection of media, culture, and identity; digital public cultures; and methods for studying media and culture.
