Eventspheres as discursive forms: (re-)negotiating the “mediated center” in new network cultures

Abstract

"This volume assembles an estimable range of critical analyses of one of the most important mediated artifacts of the modern world—the media event. The authors challenge the construct, extend its usefulness, expand its theoretical basis and application, and examine media events in a far larger and richer context than ever before. Students of global media today are well served by this superb collection of essays. David Morgan, Duke University, USA A welcome and worthy successor to Dayan and Katz's path-breaking study that expands and enriches the discourse on global media events. Daya Thussu, University of Westminster, UK This is an excellent collection, that will enable new kinds of argument..
