Medienrezeption

This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of the subjects and theories related to reception research. In 37 contributions, the questions and subjects of the discipline are presented, the current state of research is analysed and an outlook on open questions is given. The contributions thus provide a systematic approach to the state of research on each topic from a communication science perspective.
The handbook is divided into four parts: (1) the basic concepts of media reception, (2) questions of attention and selection, (3) specific phenomena and modes of experience and (4) the most important contexts of media reception. Modern media effects theories can no longer do without analysing reception processes. The handbook therefore examines the processes before and during media use in detail. The handbook’s target readership is the broad specialist audience of communication science and its related subjects, such as sociology, psychology, political science, educational science as well as advanced students.
