Keywords for Media Studies
Edited by Laurie Ouellette & Jonathan Gray
The Essential vocabulary of Media Studies
Keywords for Media Studies introduces and aims to advance the field of critical media studies by tracing, defining, and problematizing
its established and emergent terminology. The book historicizes thinking about media and society, whether that means noting a long history of “new media,” or tracing how understandings of media “power” vary across time periods and knowledge formations.
Bringing together an impressive group of established scholars from television studies, film studies, sound studies, games studies, and more, each of the 65 essays in the volume focuses on
a critical concept, from “fan” to “industry,” and “celebrity” to “surveillance.”
Keywords for Media Studies is an essential tool that introduces key terms, research traditions, debates, and their histories, and offers a sense of the new frontiers and questions emerging in the field of media studies.
Laurie Ouellette is Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota, where
she teaches media and cultural studies. She writes about television, media culture, social theory, and consumer culture, and is the co-author of
Better Living Through Reality TV: Television and Post-Welfare Citizenship and editor of
A Companion to Reality Television, among other books.
