In Making Media Studies, David Gauntlett turns media and
communications studies on its head. He proposes a vision of media
studies based around doing and making – not about the acquisition of
skills, as such, but an experience of building knowledge and
understanding through creative hands-on engagement with all kinds of
media. Gauntlett suggests that media studies scholars have failed to
recognise the significance of everyday creativity – the vital drive
of people to make, exchange, and learn together, supported by online
networks. He argues that we should think about media in terms of
conversations, inspirations, and making things happen. Media studies
can be about genuine social change, if we recognise the significance
of everyday creativity, work to transform our tools, and learn to use
them wisely. Making Media Studies is a lively, readable, and heartfelt
manifesto from the author of Making is Connecting.
