Deep Mediatization

<p>Andreas Hepp takes an integrative look at one of the biggest questions in media and communications research: how digital media is changing society.</p><p>Often such questions are discussed in isolation losing sight of the overarching context in which they are situated. Hepp has developed a theory of the re-figuration of society by digital media and their infrastructures and provides an understanding of how profound today’s media-related changes are not only for institutions organizations and communities but for the individual as well. Rooted in the latest research this book does not stop at a description of media-related change; instead it raises the normative challenge of what deep mediatization should look like so that it might just stimulate a 'good life' for all.</p><p>Providing original and critical research the book introduces deep mediatization to students of media and cultural studies as well as neighboring disciplines like sociology political science and other cognate disciplines.</p>
