Digital Storytelling, Mediatized Stories (eBook, PDF)

Self-representations in New Media

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Recent years have seen amateur personal stories, focusing on «me», flourish on social networking sites and in digital storytelling workshops. The resulting digital stories could be called «mediatized stories». This book deals with these self-representational stories, aiming to understand the transformations in the age-old practice of storytelling that have become possible with the new, digital media. Its approach is interdisciplinary, exploring how the mediation or mediatization processes of digital storytelling can be grasped and offering a sociological perspective of media studies and a socio-cultural take of the educational sciences. Aesthetic and literary perspectives on narration as well as questioning from an informatics perspective are also included.

Rezensionen

«In this insightful and original volume, international scholars draw on an exciting range of perspectives to understand the transformative potential of digital media for human expression and recognition of others.» (Sonia Livingstone, Professor of Social Psychology in the Department of Media and Communications, London School of Economics and Political Science)
«'Digital Storytelling, Mediatized Stories' defines an important new field in media studies. Contributions address current discussions concerning media and identity, the democratizing potential of new media, as well as significant debates regarding how we best theorize 'media' and 'mediatization'. This is a 'must-read' collection for anyone interested in global perspectives on narrative, new media, and the larger impacts and potentials of digital technologies on both our individual and collective lives as de facto global citizens.» (Charles Ess, Professor of Philosophy and Religion, Drury University)
