Media and Participation in Post-Migrant Societies - Paperback

by Tanja Thomas (Editor), Merle-Marie Kruse (Editor), Miriam Stehling (Editor)

In contemporary media cultures, media are part of the most important sites where collective
representations and narrations of a post-migrant civic culture are (re-)negotiated. At the
same time, they offer powerful resources and instruments for civic participation and collaboration.
Media and Participation in Post-Migrant Societies addresses an important shortcoming in
the research on participation in media cultures by introducing a special focus on post-migrant
conditions to the discussion - both as conceptual refinements and as empirical studies.
The contributions of this book provide diverse analyses of the conditions, possibilities,
but also constraints for participation and the role of media communication in the reshaping
of civic culture in post-migrant societies.
