Boundless cyber world?
Welche Bedeutung haben technische Ausstattung und soziale Zugangsorte für die Teilhabe im virtuellen Raum? Welchen Einfluss haben soziale Rahmenbedingungen auf Nutzungsdifferenzen und welche Ausprägungen finden sich in dieser Hinsicht bei Jugendlichen? In der Beantwortung dieser neuen Fragestellungen führt der Band international herausragende ExpertInnen aus verschiedenen Disziplinen zusammen. Zentrale Fragen der Bildungsteilhabe in der Informations- und Wissensgesellschaft gerade für die nachwachsende Generation, die häufig als DIE Mediengeneration schlechthin gilt, werden im Zusammenhang mit der Problematik der digitalen Spaltung thematisiert und systematisiert. Die erstmalige Zusammenführung dieser unterschiedlichen Blickwinkel führt zu neuen Erkenntnissen über die Bildungsherausforderungen des Internet.
Young Citizens and New Media
This book integrates four distinct topics: young people, citizenship, new media, and learning processes. When taken together, these four topics merge to define an arena of social and research attention that has become compelling in recent years. The general international concern expressed of declining democratic engagement and the role of citizenship today becomes all the more acute when it turns to younger people. At the same time, there is growing attention being paid to the potential of new media – especially internet and mobile telephony – to play a role in facilitating newer forms of political participation. It is clear that many of the present manifestations of ‘new politics’ in the extra parliamentarian domain, not only make sophisticated use of such media, but are indeed highly dependent on them. With an impressive array of contributors, this book will appeal to those interested in a number of spheres, including media and cultural studies, political science, pedagogy, and sociology.
After the Death of Childhood
What will be the fate of childhood in the twenty-first century? Will children increasingly be living 'media childhoods', dominated by the electronic screen? Will their growing access to adult media help to abolish the distinctions between childhood and adulthood? Or will the advent of new media technologies widen the gaps between the generations still further? In this book, David Buckingham provides a lucid and accessible overview of recent changes both in childhood and in the media environment. He refutes simplistic moral panics about the negative influence of the media, and the exaggerated optimism about the 'electronic generation'. In the process, he points to the challenges that are pose...
Dynamics and Performativity of Imagination
In this interdisciplinary anthology, essays study the relationship between the imagination and images both material and mental. Through case studies on a diverse array of topics including photography, film, sports, theater, and anthropology, contributors focus on the role of the creative imagination in seeing and producing images and the imaginary.
Religion and Youth
What is the future of religion given the responses of young people? What impact do existing religious forms have on youth? What kind of spirituality and religion are young people creating for themselves? Religion and Youth presents an accessible guide to the key issues in the study of youth and religion, including methodological perspectives. It provides a key teaching text in these areas for undergraduates, and a book of rigorous scholarship for postgraduates, academics and practitioners. Offering the first comprehensive international perspective on the sociology of youth and religion, this book reveals key geographical and organisational variables as well as the complexities of the engagem...
Shooting the Family
Shooting the Family, a collection of essays on the contemporary media landscape, explores ever-changing representations of family life on a global scale. The contributors argue that new recording technologies allows families an unusual kind of freedom—until now unknown—to define and respond to their own lives and memories. Recently released videos made by young émigrés as they discover new homelands and resolve conflicts with their parents, for example, reverberate alongside the dark portrayals of family life in the formal filmmaking of Ang Lee. This book will be a boon to scholars of film theory and media studies, as well as to anyone interested in the construction of the family in a postmodern world.

Creative Explorations
Drawing upon an array of disciplines from neuroscience to philosophy, and art to social theory, David Gauntlett here explores the ways in which researchers can embrace people's everyday creativity in order to understand social experience.
Religion in the Age of Re-Globalization
This book provides a concise introduction into twenty-one trends that are transforming the role of religion and spirituality in “re-globalizing” societies. In referring to processes of “re-globalization”, the book draws attention to profound ongoing changes in the patterns and mechanisms of contemporary globalization. Inter- and transdisciplinary in its approach, clearly structured, and easy to read, the book analyzes the impact of religious self-understanding, rhetoric, and practice on five core fields: economics, politics, culture, demography, and technology. In turn, it describes the effects of these five fields on religion and spirituality themselves. This book represents a broad...
