Media After Deleuze

Review “Harper and Savat revitalize Deleuze for the age of new media. The book flags the political urgency of Deleuze and Guattari’s ideas … Indeed, the book’s greatest strength is how it, in an accessible manner, mobilizes Deleuze’s (and Guattari’s) core ideas and how these can connect with the concerns of media studies.” – Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly Product Description Media pervade and saturate the world around us. From the proliferation of social media, to crowdsourcing, big data, games, and more traditional media such as television, radio, and print, media provide the framework for our engagement with the world and each other. By recasting the traditional concerns of media studies through the lens of the work of Deleuze and Guattari this book provides an innovative new toolkit for understanding how media shape our world. Taking as their central question what it is that media do, Harper and Savat offer a new and insightful approach to this exciting area of study.
