SUMMARY:Mark Deuze\, Indiana University and Leiden University
CREATED:20090930T130000Z
DESCRIPTION:Title:Media Life: The Experience of Love\, Sex & Death in Dig
 ital Culture   Abstract: Research since the early years of the 21st cent
 ury consistently shows how through the years more of our time gets spent
  using media\, how being concurrently exposed to media has become a foun
 dational feature of everyday life\, and that consuming media for most pe
 ople increasingly takes place alongside producing media. Contemporary me
 dia devices\, what people do with them\, and how all of this fits in the
  organization of our everyday life disrupt and unsettle well-established
  views of the role media play in society. Instead of continuing to wrest
 le with a distinction between media and society\, this contribution prop
 oses we begin our thinking with a view of life not lived with media\, bu
 t 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 fra
 med by\, mitigated through\, and made immediate by (immersive\, integrat
 ed\, ubiquitous and pervasive) media. In this presentation\, the media l
 ife perspective is developed by correlating the claims of contemporary s
 ocial theory with recent reports on media use among teenagers around the
  world.   Bio: Mark Deuze holds a joint appointment as an Associate Prof
 essor of Telecommunications at Indiana University in Bloomington\, Unite
 d States\, and as Professor of Journalism and New Media at Leiden Univer
 sity\, The Netherlands. Publications of his work include five books ? in
 cluding "Media Work" (Polity Press\, 2007)\, guest-edited special issues
  of journals on convergence culture (Convergence\, 2008\; International 
 Journal of Cultural Studies\, 2009)\, and articles in journals such as T
 he Information Society\, New Media & Society\, and Journalism Studies. F
 orthcoming in 2010: "Managing Media Work" (contracted with Sage)\, and i
 n 2011: "Media Life" (contracted with Polity Press).
