Media, Culture, and Mediality

Current culturally oriented media studies have significantly advanced central concepts such like 'mediality', 'media culture', 'media discourse' and 'procedures of media'. Focused on this newly defined terminological field, this volume presents landmark contributions for media studies providing new insights into the current state of research on media theory and media culture, simultaneously developing an agenda for future research.
