"Der Band „Mediensoziologie" präsentiert Überblicksbeiträge, die wichtige Grundbegriffe der Soziologie in Verbindung mit dem Medien-Begriff (und das heißt: als unabhängige, abhängige oder intervenierende Größe) erörtern. Die Einbindung von Medien in eine soziologische Perspektive erfolgt

jeweils durch die Vorgabe eines relevanten Verbindungsglieds, z. B. soziale Ungleichheit, Macht, soziale Konflikte oder Identität. Der Anspruch des vorliegenden Bandes ist die konsequente Zusammenführung von Medien und Gesellschaft. Es soll verdeutlicht werden, dass die moderne Gesellschaft und die Existenz von Massenmedien und -kommunikation eng miteinander verflochten sind, in diesem Kontext wird zugleich die Bedeutung neuer Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien hervorgehoben."

"In Shooting the Family, twelve authors investigate the transfigured role of the family in a transnational world in which intercultural values are negotiated through mass media like film and television, as well as through particularistic media like home movies and videos. "Shooting the Family" has a

double meaning. On the one hand, this book claims that the family is under pressure from the forces of globalization and migration; it is the family that risks being shot to pieces. On the other hand, family matters of all kinds, including family values, are increasingly being constructed and refigured in a mediated form. The audiovisual family has become an important medium for intercultural affairs - this is a family that is being re-established as a place of security and comfort in times of upheaval; it is the family shot by cameras that register and simultaneously create new family values."

"The title Media Rituals suggests a ready-made area of media research that is there to be explained and ordered. In fact, the position is more complex. There is a lot of talk about media in ritual terms, and there are a number of things that happen in relation to media that can properly be called â€

˜ritual’ which are the subject of this book. But we need to be critical of the assumptions about social ‘order’, and the media’s supposed place within it, that underlie much talk of media rituals. I will be developing an antiromantic approach both to media rituals and to the wider media process." (Preface)

"The Practical Media Dictionary aims to define and explain a comprehensive selection of the most commonly used vocabulary of practical media production throughout the industry. It encompasses the everyday language, the most encountered phrases, typical job definitions, relevant organisations and ins

titutions, most utilised equipment and much of the commonly employed technical jargon associated with practical activities. More importantly, it attempts to demystify the language and idiom used right across the media. This includes a whole range of processes, jobs, skills and associated working practices. Each entry tries not only to define and explain, but also to develop further understanding. It may be a piece of equipment such as a SOUND MIXING DESK or a DIGITAL BETACAM, or an activity such as creating a filming schedule. After each definition there is accessible text explaining more about what the equipment does or what the activity involves, and, if appropriate, how and why. An entry may be an explanation of one of the many production or technical jobs found in the media, such as RUNNER or ASSISTANT CAMERAMAN. The role and nature of the job is fully explained."

Questa pluralità di approcci si arricchisce, sul piano interculturale, grazie all’apertura internazionale nella scelta delle voci e dei collaboratori (135, tra i quali alcuni dei più noti studiosi e ricercatori italiani e stranieri). Alle formule adottate da analoghe opere – quella del prontuario (molte voci brevi ed esclusivamente informative) e quella saggistica (poche voci, che costituiscono vere e proprie sintesi teoriche) – si è preferita una scelta integrata che favorisce sia la consultazione rapida sia la riflessione critica sui contenuti."
