Klappentext zu „Making Media Studies “
In Making Media Studies, David Gauntlett turns media and communications studies on its head. He proposes a vision of media studies based around doing and making - not about the acquisition of skills, as such, but an experience of building knowledge and understanding through creative hands-on engagement with all kinds of media. Gauntlett suggests that media studies scholars have failed to recognise the significance of everyday creativity - the vital drive of people to make, exchange, and learn together, supported by online networks. He argues that we should think about media in terms of conversations, inspirations, and making things happen. Media studies can be about genuine social change, if we recognise the significance of everyday creativity, work to transform our tools, and learn to use them wisely. Making Media Studies is a lively, readable, and heartfelt manifesto from the author of Making is Connecting.

Pressezitat
«Sitting down with David Gauntlett's 'Making Media Studies' is like having a conversation with an erudite, yet still optimistic scholar. Gauntlett celebrates 'everyday makers' on digital platforms such as YouTube, giving readers the pragmatic and conceptual tools needed to understand the positive aspects of this ongoing cultural shift. The result is a deeply engaging antidote to more pessimistic stirrings.» (Matt Ratto, Associate Professor, Faculty of Information, University of Toronto)
«What Gauntlett offers is a bold, imaginative - and occasionally provocative - view of what media studies might become. This is a lively contribution to thinking about media and communications.» (Shaun Moores, Professor, University of Sunderland)
