Today's students have a world of knowledge at their fingertips and no longer need encyclopedic books that relay names and dates. What they need is the story-with context and critical tools to understand and take charge of their place within that narrative. The Mediated World charts the story of media as it has shaped human life and as it infuses every aspect of our modern existence.
David T. Z. Mindich writes for students who want to understand how we communicate with one another, how we process our world, and how the media shape us. His engaging narrative style focuses on concepts and real-world contexts to promote the media literacy students need to understand their personal relationships with media. Empowered to think critically as media consumers, creators, and curators, readers come to recognize that they have a responsibility to work within the vast world of media to create more positive and productive futures.
The second edition of this full-color interdisciplinary textbook brings historical media and overarching themes to life for students by beginning each chapter with a contemporary vignette. From the current example, students look back through the context of the past to see how media and society have evolved together. Along the way, reflection questions challenge students to apply concepts and key terms to their own experiences. Data and examples throughout the book have been updated to refer to the technologies and cultural realities experienced by today's students.
New to the Second Edition:
- New chapter-opening vignettes meet students in the current moment before welcoming them to consider the past.
- New chapter (8) on diversity and representation builds on other chapters' coverage of these issues. This focus challenges students to be critically aware of how the media treats different identity groups.
- New chapter (13) on video games observes and critiques a powerful media force in students' recreational lives.
- Updates throughout the book include current cultural, political, and technological references, engaging with controversies without choosing sides.
