Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this chapter three approaches to mediatization are discussed: the institutional, the technological, and the media as world. Each of these has a different ontological and epistemological background, and it is argued that this has consequences on which questions are posed, and which kinds of answers are possible to give. For these backgrounds it is accounted, with a special focus on how these approaches theorize the relationship between media and society, how media are defined and which historical perspective is privileged.

Media generations : Objective and Subjective Media Landscapes and Nostalgia among Generations of Media Users
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Participations. - 1749-8716. ; 11:2, s. 108-131
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article discusses from an inter-cultural and inter-generational perspective the relationship between ‘objective’ media landscapes and how they are subjectively perceived among four different media generations. Based on a focus group study with media users in Sweden and Estonia of two tentative generations, the relationship between the ‘objective’ and ‘subjective’ media landscapes is analysed, as is how the landscapes produce nostalgia at the intersection of age, generation, life course and life situation. Based on the differences found in the cross-cultural and the cross-generational comparison, it is concluded that in relation to the formative years of the respondents, there are two different kinds of nostalgia produced: one individually based, focussing on childhood memories; and one social or collective, focussing on the formative years of the respondents.

Personal and Mobile Media in the Digital Economy
- 2012
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper analyses how mobile phone owners turn from being regarded by the industry as users of an interpersonal medium, to a mass audience along some of the principles for how this “audience commodity” has been constructed in previous mass media settings, centering on the radio, television and the press. One purpose is to critically examine the relation between interpersonal and mass media, such as how technological developments connected to digitization has altered the market for media commodities and contributed to the development of new business models. The second purpose is to discuss the consequences of this shift, and its consequences for our ontological understanding of what it means to use a mobile phone.

Questioning Entertainment Value : Moments of Disruption in the History of Swedish Entertainment Television
- 2013
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the early 1920’s John Reith of the BBC summarized the goals that the organization still adhere to: ‘To enrich people's lives with programmes and services that inform, educate and entertain’. This chapter deals with the last of these three ambitions, and in a historically informed genre-analytical manner describes the history of Swedish television entertainment. The focus is on four important moments of disruption, and their consequences for larger generic trends. The paper exemplifies with some such productions that have been generically important and/or specific for their time (e.g. the launch of reality series Expedition: Robinson in 1997, and the start of the reality drama).

Television Journalism, Politics and Entertainment : Power and Autonomy in the Field of Television Journalism
- 2012
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper discusses two trends in the debates about contemporary television journalism. Firstly, journalism is said to be increasingly subsumed an economic logic, privileging entertainment before serious journalistic practices. Most often this is framed as if entertainment is eating its way into serious journalism, affecting it negatively and thus being detrimental for the political public sphere and political reasoning. Secondly, it is often pointed to a changed relation between journalism and politicians, where the latter have lost some of their power, for example political debates. This paper relates these two trends and argue, against a field model inspired by Bourdieu, that it is not entertainment that is eating its way into journalism, but the other way around: Rather than having been absorbed by entertainment, journalism has differentiated, become more autonomous as a sub-field of cultural production, and has gradually come to dominate both factual and entertainment television.

The Forms of Value : Problems of Convertibility in Field Theory
- 2012
-
Ingår i: tripleC. - : Information Society Research. - 1726-670X. ; 10:1, s. 33-41
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Media production in late capitalism is often measured in terms of economic value. If value is defined as the worth of a thing, a standard or measure, being the result of social praxis and negotiation between producers and consumers in various combinations, it follows that this worth can be of other kinds than the mere economic. This is, for example, the reasoning behind field theory (Bourdieu), where the generation of field-specific capital (value) is deeply dependent on the belief shared by the competing agents within the field. The full extent of the consequences of such a theory of convertibility between fields of cultural production, centred on different forms of value, is, however yet to be explored. This is the task of this article. It especially focuses on how value is constructed differently depending on the relations of the valuing subject to the production process, something that becomes highly relevant in digital media environments, where users are increasingly drawn into the production process.

The Labour of Media Use : The Two Active Audiences
- 2011
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The 'active audience' has theoretically been conceptualised from two perspectives: in political economy, from Smythe to Andrejevic it is suggested that television audiences work for the networks while watching. Although contested it has survived among television scholars, also feeding into the discussion on web surveillance techniques. The other conceptualisation comes from reception theory, where the interpretive work by audiences is seen as resulting in identities, taste cultures and social difference. This paper relates these perspectives by considering audiences as involved in two production-consumptions circuits: [1] the viewer activities produces social difference (identities, cultural meaning) in a social and cultural economy, which is then [2] made the object of productive consumption as part of the activities of the media industry, the end product being economic profit. The paper argues for the relevance of analysing these as separate circuits, and that recent debate on the active audience has misrecognised the difference.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The ‘active audience’ has theoretically been conceptualized from two perspectives: in political economy, it is suggested that television audiences work for the networks while watching and that they contribute to the valorization process with their labour. Although contested, it has survived among media scholars, also feeding into the discussion on web surveillance techniques. The other conceptualization comes from reception theory, media ethnography and cultural studies, where the interpretive work by audiences is seen as productive and resulting in identities, taste cultures and social difference. This article relates these perspectives by considering audiences as involved in two production–consumptions circuits: (1) the viewer activities produce social difference (identities and cultural meaning) in a social and cultural economy, which is then (2) made the object of productive consumption as part of the activities of the media industries, the end product being economic profit.This article argues for the relevance of analysing these as separate circuits, with different kinds of labour at their centre, and that recent debates on the active audience often misrecognize the difference.
