Medientheorie

The textbook is designed for introductory courses in media and communication studies. It derives questions of media theory from everyday media experiences and common knowledge of media use. The central concern of the textbook is to link everyday media life with academic debates on media theory. This allows students to actively trace the development from a general debate about media in society or from a personal experience to the central considerations of media theories. In this way, the introduction enables a comprehensible, application-oriented and practical approach to questions of media theory.
