Contributors urge readers to re-adjust their ideas of Media Studies, by extending the understanding of \"medium\" to include a concept of materiality that also includes \"non-human\" transmitters (elements such as water, earth, fire, air) and also by understanding media not only in the context of cultural or discursive systems or apparatuses, relays, transistors, hardware or \"discourse networks,\" but more inclusively, in terms of a \"media ecology.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeginning with more general essays on media and then focusing on particular themes (neuroplasticity, photography, sculpture and music), especially in relation to film, Herzogenrath and the contributors redefine the concept of \"medium\" in order to think through media, rather than about them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernd Herzogenrath\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501320106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501320101\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 02\/23\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.68d","brand":"Bernd Herzogenrath","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935195660543,"sku":"9781501320101","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_30458aa4-270e-4f5d-b16e-ddeb2ded83e2.jpg?v=1681418411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/media-matter-bernd-herzogenrath-9781501320101","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
