Contemporary Challenges in Mediatisation Research
- 2023

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book focuses on key challenges related to conducting research on mediatisation, presenting the most current theoretical, empirical, and methodological challenges and problems, addressing ignored and less frequently discussed topics, critical and controversial themes, and defining niches and directions of development in mediatisation.With a focus on the under-representation of certain topics and aspects, as well as methodological, technological, and ethical dilemmas, the chapters consider the main critical objections formulated against mediatisation studies and exchange critical positions. Moving beyond areas of common focus – culture, sport, and religion – to emerging areas of study such as fashion, the military, business, and the environment, the book then offers a critical assessment of the transformation of fields and the relevance of new and dynamic (meta)processes including datafication, counter-mediatisation, and platformisation.Charting new paths of development in mediatisation, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of mediatisation, media studies, media literacy, communication studies, and research methods.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter offers a brief characterisation of mediatisation research, and critically discusses mediatisation as a “sensitising concept”, as a research programme, a research field, an approach, or a paradigm. It provides a historical overview of how the concept and the field has developed over the past few decades until now, and what has shaped it in this way. The chapter aims to account for the various approaches (the institutional perspective on mediatisation, the technological, and the cultural or social constructionist); and discusses ontological and epistemological differences. It describes the main challenges and objections/criticisms to mediatisation studies defined so far, types of transformations that have been analysed, and which are neglected and marginalised. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book.

Limitations and New Directions for the Development of Mediatisation as a Research Field

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this book has been to discuss the key challenges related to mediatisation research, and to highlight and critically examine the methodological, technological, and ethical problems that the field is facing. The ambition has been to identify limitations, gaps, and deficiencies, but also to discuss problematic aspects of particular approaches, to highlight contradictions and paradoxes, and to take note of under-represented areas. This chapter summarises the ways in which the book’s contributors have addressed these topics. The body of work in mediatisation studies is rich enough to build on, and as some authors emphasise, what is needed is an awareness and good knowledge of that body of work, which some studies lack. Interdisciplinarity appears nowadays as a natural paradigm of conducting research on mediatisation. Researchers of mediatisation are in this respect burdened with a kind of responsibility, but they can also be said to be well equipped to contribute with improvements to existing research ethically.
