Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap är ett samhällsvetenskapligt och humanistiskt ämne som använder sig av många olika forskningsmetoder - denna bok syftar till att möta behovet av en ämnesspecifik metodlära.Här behandlas grunder för vetenskaplig metod, samt både kvalitativa och kvantitativa ansatser: metoder för studier i naturliga situationer (etnografiska fältstudier, etnografi online och samtalsanalys), frågeundersökningar (intervjuer, surveyundersökningar och experiment) samt text- och medieanalyser (kvantitativ innehållsanalys, automatiserade analysmetoder, kritisk diskursanalys, multimodal analys, samt retorisk analys).Denna fjärde omarbetade upplaga innehåller ett nytt kapitel. Övriga kapitel har skrivits om med hänsyn till aktuell forskning och metodutveckling. Samtliga författare är experter med omfattande erfarenheter av de metoder som presenteras. Metoder i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap ger en stabil grund och värdefulla verktyg för såväl studenter på grund- och masternivå som doktorander och forskare.

This book sets out to historicise our understanding of contemporary trends by studying the long relationship between science, food and drink marketing and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. It aims to bring together contemporary and historical research from a multimodal perspective, considering how scientific discourse and ideas about health and nutrition are channelled through visual and material culture.Using examples of advertisements, commercials and posters, the 16 chapters in this book will foster a cross-disciplinary and cross-temporal dialogue, uncovering links between past and present ways that manufacturers have capitalised upon scientific innovations to create new products or rebrand existing products and employed science to make claims about health and nutrition. They will, thus, demonstrate the continuity of science in food and drink marketing—even if fundamental ideas of nutrition have evolved over time. The book provides crucial new insights into the significance of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as a period of innovation in food and drink marketing and showcasing how many of the marketing strategies employed today, in fact, have a far broader historical trajectory.It will be of great interest to students and scholars of Critical Food Studies, Media and Communication Studies, History of Science and Medicine and Cultural Studies, as well as nutritionists, dieticians, sportspeople, in addition to policymakers and practitioners working in the area of food and drink marketing.
