Communicative Figurations
This open access volume assesses the influence of our changing media environment. Today, there is not one single medium that is the driving force of change. With the spread of various technical communication media such as mobile phones and internet platforms, we are confronted with a media manifold of deep mediatization. But how can we investigate its transformative capability? This book answers this question by taking a non-media-centric perspective, researching the various figurations of collectivities and organizations humans are involved in. The first part of the book outlines a fundamental understanding of the changing media environment of deep mediatization and its transformative capacity. The second part focuses on collectivities and movements: communities in the city, critical social movements, maker, online gaming groups and networked groups of young people. The third part moves institutions and organizations into the foreground, discussing the transformation of journalism, religion, politics, and education, whilst the fourth and final part is dedicated to methodologies and perspectives.

Lutheran Theology and the shaping of society: The Danish Monarchy as Example
From different perspectives this book studies the role of Reformation theology in the shaping of Danish society and the social dimensions of Lutheran confessional culture. The book develops an approach making it possible to draw strong conclusion about the social teaching of Luther and its impact on the development of the Danish society. It works on a conceptual level by analyzing the social dimensions of key Lutheran concepts and their translation into the doctrine of the three estates (church, household, and state), and on the level of lived experience of life within these three orders, not at least within the household forming the ideal form also for church and state. Thus the chapters in...
Digital Spaces of Civic Communication
This book addresses the socio-technical constitution of civic communication in increasingly digital democracies. Despite problematic phenomena like hate speech in online commenting, it argues that citizens’ potential for resisting technological inscriptions in digital media remains a fundamental democratic right. While producers inscribe anticipations for how people should be discussing political issues into commenting interfaces, citizens still resist these technological inscriptions in their commenting practices. This dialectic interrelation between interfaces and practices highlights the inadequacy of purely technological solutions for undemocratic tendencies in digital media.
Cultures of Mediatization
What does it mean that we can be reached on our mobile phones wherever we are and at all times? What are the cultural consequences if we are informed about ‘everything and anything important’ via television? How are our political, religious and ethnic belongings impacted through being increasingly connected by digital media? And what is the significance of all this for our everyday lives? Drawing on Hepp’s fifteen-year research expertise on media change, this book deals with questions like these in a refreshingly straightforward and readable way. ‘Cultures of mediatization’ are described as cultures whose main resources are mediated by technical media. Therefore, everyday life in cultures of mediatization is ‘moulded’ by the media. To understand this challenging media change it is inappropriate to focus on any one single medium like television, the press, mobile phones, the Internet or other forms of digital media. One has to capture the ‘mediatization’ of culture in its entirety. Cultures of Mediatization outlines how this can be done critically. In so doing, it offers a new way of thinking about our present-day media-saturated world.
Transnational Spaces: Celebrating Fifty Years of Literary and Cultural Intersections at NeMLA
This volume celebrates fifty years of NeMLA’s important presence in the world of academia with a collection of essays that adopt a transnational critical lens. With the present selection, we intend to add our voices to the ongoing debate centered on the renegotiation of space, national, and cultural geographies; to foster both the re-thinking of language(s) and literature(s) not exclusively in English and the study of race, gender, sexuality, and class within and across national boundaries. Most pertinently for this collection, we hope to add meaningful material to produce new theoretical paradigms and to rethink the role and significance of the humanities in today’s world. In this light...
Minority Churches as Media Settlers
How do minority Christian churches adapt to and negotiate with the changes brought about by deep mediatization? How do they use their media to present themselves to their followers and the general public? This book aims to answer these questions by investigating how minority organizations of two different Christian traditions in the UK and Poland – the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the Orthodox Churches – use their own media to position themselves in their social, religious, and political environments. Based on the analyses of media practices, media content, and interview material, the study develops the new concept of media settlers, which pertains to religious organizations that use...
Kommunikative Mobilität
Vor dem Hintergrund der beruflich bedingten Mobilität fragt die vorliegende Studie von Matthias Berg nach der Rolle digitaler Medien bei der kommunikativen Beziehungspflege. Die qualitative Kommunikationsnetzwerkanalyse von 22 beruflich mobilen Menschen kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass in einer solchen Lebenssituation Mobilität, soziale Beziehungen und interpersonale Medienkommunikation ein komplexes Wechselverhältnis miteinander eingehen. Dabei greifen unterschiedliche Mobilitätsformen sowie Strukturen und Praktiken kommunikativer Vernetzung ineinander. Diese werden hier als Prozessmuster kommunikativer Mobilität analysiert.
Mediatisierte Welten
Mediatisierung wurde zu einem Schlüsselkonzept der internationalen Medien- und Kommunikationsforschung, um das Wechselverhältnis des Wandels von Medienkommunikation und Kultur bzw. Gesellschaft zu fassen. Doch durch was zeichnet sich die heutige Mediatisierung aus? Wie verändern sich mit ihr Handlungs- und Interaktionsformen, Netzwerke und soziale Kontexte? Welche gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen bestehen dadurch? Fragen wie diese werden in dem vorliegenden Buch ausgehend von Analysen einzelner „mediatisierter Welten“ diskutiert. Die Grundlage sind dabei Forschungskonzepte und erste Ergebnisse des von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft geförderten Schwerpunktprogramms 1505 „Mediatisierte Welten: Kommunikation im medialen und gesellschaftlichen Wandel“.
Medienpädagogik als Schlüsseldisziplin in einer mediatisierten Welt
In diesem Sammelband werden theoretische, empirische und praxisbezogene Perspektiven für die Medienpädagogik entfaltet. Grundlegend ist die These, dass die Medienpädagogik angesichts der Digitalisierung und Mediatisierung aller Lebensbereiche eine Schlüsseldisziplin darstellt – bereits heute und auch in Zukunft. Die Beiträge decken ein breites Spektrum an medienpädagogisch relevanten Themen ab: angefangen bei theoretischen Diskursen bzw. medienpädagogischer Theorieentwicklung, über aktuelle Aufgabenfelder der Medienpädagogik und spezielle Fragen medienpädagogischer Professionalisierung und Qualitätssicherung bis hin zur Bedeutung der Medienpädagogik für die Hochschulentwicklung. Deutlich wird, inwiefern Medienpädagogik Reflexions- und Handlungswissenschaft zugleich ist. Das Buch richtet sich primär an medienpädagogisch Forschende sowie Studierende aus bildungswissenschaftlichen und medienbezogenen Studiengängen. Der Sammelband ist als Festschrift anlässlich des 60. Geburtstages von Prof. Dr. Dorothee M. Meister konzipiert, die an der Universität Paderborn den Arbeitsbereich Medienpädagogik und empirische Medienforschung leitet.
