Media Materialities: Form, Format, and Ephemeral Meaning: BCMCR New Directions in Media and Cultural Research
Editat de Oliver Carter, Iain A. Tayloren Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 oct 2025
Media Materialities brings together a team of scholars to analyze the increasingly complex relationships between media forms and formats, materiality, and meaning. Deploying a number of different qualitative methodologies, the contributors address three overarching concepts: form, format, and ephemeral meaning. They investigate a range of media artifacts, such as 8mm film, board game maps, videogames, cassette tapes, transistor radios, and Twitter. Their goal is to create spaces for conversation and debate about the implications that this plurality of material meanings might have for the study of media, culture, and society.
