Media After Deleuze (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Media pervade and saturate the world around us. From the proliferation of social media, to crowdsourcing, big data, games, and more traditional media such as television, radio, and print, media provide the framework for our engagement with the world and each other. By recasting the traditional concerns of media studies through the lens of the work of Deleuze and Guattari this book provides an innovative new toolkit for understanding how media shape our world.

Taking as their central question what it is that media do, Harper and Savat offer a new and insightful approach to this exciting area of study.
