Hovedinnhold

In this lecture, Johan Lindell, Associate Professor of Media and Communication Studies at Uppsala University, will present his resent book Bourdieusian Media Studies. It illustrates the merits of Pierre Bourdieu’s cultural sociological approach in the field of media studies, explicating exactly what a “Bourdieusian” analysis of media would entail, and what new understandings of the digital media landscape would emerge from such an analysis.The book presents a range of case studies covering television production, the field of media studies itself, media use, and social media networks.
