SUMMARY:"Infostructure Series": Media Life: The Experience of Love\, Sex 
 & Death in Digital Culture
CREATED:20090929T120000Z
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Research since the early years of the 21st century 
 consistently shows how through the years more of our time gets spent usi
 ng media\, how being concurrently exposed to media has become a foundati
 onal feature of everyday life\, and that consuming media for most people
  increasingly takes place alongside producing media. Contemporary media 
 devices\, what people do with them\, and how all of this fits in the org
 anization of our everyday life disrupt and unsettle well-established vie
 ws of the role media play in society. Instead of continuing to wrestle w
 ith a distinction between media and society\, this contribution proposes
  we begin our thinking with a view of life not lived with media\, but in
  media. The media life perspective starts from the realization that the 
 whole of the world and our lived experience in it can be seen as framed 
 by\, mitigated through\, and made immediate by (immersive\, integrated\,
  ubiquitous and pervasive) media. In this presentation\, the media life 
 perspective is developed by correlating the claims of contemporary socia
 l theory with recent reports on media use among teenagers around the wor
 ld.  Bio: Mark Deuze holds a joint appointment as an Associate Professor
  of Telecommunications at Indiana University in Bloomington\, United Sta
 tes\, and as Professor of Journalism and New Media at Leiden University\
 , The Netherlands. Publications of his work include five books  includin
 g "Media Work" (Polity Press\, 2007)\, guest-edited special issues of jo
