Understanding these technologies requires an approach that foregrounds media as an agent that collaborates in the production of the world beyond content or representation. \u003ci\u003eMaterialist Media Theory\u003c\/i\u003e provides an accessible, synthetic account of the cutting edge of the theoretical humanities, examining a range of approaches to media's physical, infrastructural role in shaping culture, space, time, cognition, and life itself. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore than a mere introduction, \u003ci\u003eMaterialist Media Theory\u003c\/i\u003e provides a critical intervention into matter and media, of interest to students and researchers in media studies, communication, cultural studies, visual culture, and beyond. Media determine our reality, and any politics of media must begin by foregrounding the media's materiality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grant Bollmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501337114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501337116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2020","brand":"Grant Bollmer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44173282836735,"sku":"9781501337116","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/materialist-media-theory-grant-bollmer-9781501337116","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
