Názov : | Migration and new media : transnational families and polymedia / | Typ dokumentu: | printed text | Autori: | Mirca Madianou ; Daniel Miller | Vydavateľ: | Abingdon, Oxon : Routledge | Dátum vydania: | 2012 | Stránkovanie: | vii, 175 p. | Veľkosť: | 24 cm | ISBN (alebo iný kód): | 978-0-415-67929-9 | Číslo MDT: | 331.40941 | Abstrakt: | "The way in which families maintain long distance communication when they are separated because of migration has been revolutionised by the emergence of a variety of internet- and mobile phone-based platforms. These platforms have created a new communicative environment, which the authors call 'polymedia'. This book draws on a long-term ethnographic study of prolonged separation between transnational Filipino migrant mothers in the UK and their left-behind children in the Philippines. It is unique in the way it provides firstly a theory of the new experience of media itself, as polymedia. This is complemented by a theory of relationships based on an analysis of mother-child communication. The authors seek to go beyond both media studies and anthropology to construct a new theory of mediated relationships that combines findings from both disciplines and has considerable importance for the social sciences more generally."--Publisher's description. |
