Since  the beginning of modernity, media have transformed the scale on which we  act as social beings. And now in the era of digital media, media  themselves are being transformed as platforms, content, and producers  multiply. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet the implications of social theory for  understanding media and of media for rethinking social theory have been  neglected; never before has it been more important to understand those  implications. This book takes on this challenge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on  Couldry's fifteen years of work on media and social theory, this book  explores how questions of power and ritual, capital and social order,  and the conduct of political struggle, professional competition, and  everyday life, are all transformed by today's complex combinations of  traditional and 'new' media. In the concluding chapters Couldry develops  a framework for global comparative research into media and for thinking  collectively about the ethics and justice of our lives with media. The  result is a book that is both a major intervention in the field and  required reading for all students of media and sociology.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eNick Couldry\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of media and communications at Goldsmiths, University of London.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 November 2012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780745639208\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e242\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.92\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44380767158412,"sku":"9780745639208","price":70.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780745639208.jpg?v=1780176476","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780745639208","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
