With falling prices on compact and easy-to-use cameras, as well as mobile phones and digital still cameras with video recording capabilities, access to moving image production technology is becoming virtually universal. \u003ci\u003eHome Truths?\u003c\/i\u003e represents one of the few academic research studies exploring this everyday, popular use of video production technology, looking particularly at how families use and engage with the technology and how it fits into the routines of everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors draw on interviews, observations, and the participants' videos themselves, seeking to paint a comprehensive picture of the role of video making in their everyday lives. While readers gain a sense of the individual characters involved in the project and the complexities and diversities of their lives, the analysis also raises a range of broader issues about the nature of learning and creativity, subjectivity and representation, and the \"domestication\" of technology---issues that are of interest to many in the fields of sociology and media\/cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Buckingham is Professor of Education at the Institute of Education, University of London, and Director of the Institute's Centre for the Study of Children, Youth and Media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRebekah Willett is Lecturer at the Institute of Education, University of London, where she teaches in Media, Culture and Communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaria Pini previously worked as Lecturer in Media and Communications at Goldsmiths College, London University, and is now a researcher on the Camcorder Cultures project at the Institute of Education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCover art: Young videomaker (c)iStockphoto.com\/ kaisersosa67\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTechnologies of the Imagination: New Media in Everyday Life\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003edigitalculturebooks\u003c\/b\u003e is an imprint of the University of Michigan Press and the Scholarly Publishing Office of the University of Michigan Library dedicated to publishing innovative and accessible work exploring new media and their impact on society, culture, and scholarly communication.
