Ebook: Mediatization(s): Theoretical Conversations between Europe and Latin America

In the last decade, European and Latin American researchers have set a solid theoretical corpus around mediatization. For the first time, this book brings together these two theoretical traditions—the Latin American sociosemiotic matrix consolidated by Eliseo Verón in the 1980s and the institutional and constructivist approaches developed in Europe—to explore the theoretical and applied exchanges between the approaches.

This book presents the work of key authorities on mediatization from Europe and Latin America in one single volume, integrating macro-level theorization with applied observations of mediatization processes from a multidisciplinary perspective. Presented in a handbook format, with comprehensive introductory sections written by the editors and original texts signed by world-renowned researchers, this collection is a vital new resource for researchers and students alike.
