Book launch “Theorising Media and Time”
Join us for the launch of "Theorising Media and Time: Temporalities, Media Practices and Politics of Time in a Digital Era".
The book investigates how digital media perpetuates every aspect of our lives, including our temporal perceptions. Time and attention have become one of the most precious resources, for users as well as corporate business.
This book sheds light on these critical connections and how they influence not only our daily lives, but also how they exist in emerging power structures. It brings advances in the anthropological thinking about time into conversation with theorisations of media to develop an understanding of how media and time affect each other while keeping human experiences at the heart of the conversation.
The event will feature an introduction to the volume by the editors, followed by short presentations from contributing authors. The session will conclude with a Q&A discussion.
