| Abstract | "Democracy and Media in Europe: A Discursive-Material Approach is a theoretical reflection on the intersection of democracy and media, through a constructionist lens. This focus allows us to understand current political struggles over democracy, and over media's democratic roles, with the latter ranging from the traditional support for an informed citizenry and the watchdog role, over the organization of agonistic debate and generating fair and dignified representations of society and its many (sub)groups, to the facilitation of maximalist participation in institutionalized politics and media. Moreover, the book's reconciliation of democratic theory and media theory brings out a detailed theoretical analysis of the core characteristics of the assemblages of democracy and media, their conditions of possibility, and the threats to both democracy and media's democratic roles. This short book provides in-depth reflections on the different positions that can be taken when it comes to the performance of democracy as it intersects with the multitude of media in the 21st century. As such, the volume will be of interest to scholars of media and communication and related fields in the social sciences"-- Provided by publisher. |
