Media Rituals: A Critical Approach. Couldry, Nick:
Very good copy. - Media Rituals -- This is a very readable and important revision of the sociological study of the media. The author develops a concept of ritual that will be convincing to students raised in an age of a sometimes bewildering proliferation of reality-shaping media. -- (Professor George Marcus, Chair of the Department of Anthropology, Rice University) -- Media are an inescapable part of our everyday life. But how can we understand those times of excess when the media has a significance completely beyond the routine? At times of crisis or triumph, how do media forge a public sense of community and shape peoples private actions - or make us believe that they do? -- Media Rituals rethinks our accepted concepts of ritual behaviour for a media- saturated age.
