Conditions of Mediation synopsis

Phenomenology has become one of the most important philosophical traditions that support modern theory and research in new media, whether or not the word is explicitly used. For the first time in a single publication, the terms of mediation combine the diversity of virtual media research - from social platforms and wearable media to the creation of diaspora identity and the ethics of consumer technologies.

The new doctrine in media studies emphasizes the experience of the media - whether as forms, texts, techniques or protocols - as signs of departure from traditional approaches occupied by media content or structural contexts. But phenomena-based approaches go beyond just asking what people do with information.

They ask a deeper question: What constitutes the conditions of the mediation experience in the first place? Starting with an accessible introduction, this book invites readers to explore a wide range of virtual perspectives in the media through critical dialogues involving key thinkers along with a series of theoretical and theoretically sophisticated chapters. Multidisciplinary media studies are thus conducted in a conversation with the works of philosophers such as Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger and Maurice Merlo Ponte, as well as apparently inspired thinkers such as Erfeng Goffman, Pierre Bourdieu, Tim Ingold and Henry Lefebvre.

Frederick Keithler, Marshall McLuhan and Bernard Stiegler.
