Ingrid Volkmer - Böcker

Over the last several years, the debate about publics seems to have newly emerged. This debate critically reflects the Habermasian ideal of a (national) public sphere in a transnational context. However, it seems that the issue of a reconstruction of a global public sphere is more complex. In this brilliant and provocative book, Ingrid Volkmer argues that a reflective approach of globalization is required in order to identify and deconstruct key strata of deliberate public discourse in supra- and subnational societal formations. This construction helps to understand the new processes of legitimacy at the beginning of the 21st century in which the traditional conception of a ‘public’ and its role as a legitimizing force are being challenged and transformed. The book unfolds this key phenomenon of global deliberate interconnectedness as a discursive and negotiated dimension within ‘reflective’ globalization, i.e. continuously constituting, maintaining and refining the ‘life’ of the global public and conceptualizes a global public sphere. Offering insightful case studies to illustrate this new theory of the global public sphere, the book will be essential reading for students and scholars of media and communication studies , and social and political theory.

This volume investigates the practice and challenges of journalism addressing globalized risk from various world regions.With chapters written by members of the Global Risk Journalism Hub, an international research network of leading scholars from the Global North and Global South, this collection brings together international journalism researchers from a wide range of theoretical and methodological backgrounds to uncover key issues of "global risk journalism" within their regional contexts. Using the climate crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic as a point of departure, this book explores the effect of digital platforms on news production, how the reporting of these transnational emergencies affects the misinformation ecosystem, the power relations between global and local news sources and the ethics of conducting research in the face of globalized crises.This truly international and comparative volume will interest researchers and students of global and local journalism, risk journalism, journalism practice, media and communication studies, intercultural communication, political science and sociology.

The Handbook of Global Media Research “Ingrid Volkmer has collected an admirably rich, thought-provoking, and diverse collection of views to guide critical scholarship as our topic (‘the media’ and ‘media cultures’), methods (which must now be comparative), and the knowledge we produce are all transformed by globalization”Sonia Livingstone, author of Media Regulation: Governance and the Interests of Citizens and Consumers “In this handbook, leading academic and practitioner analysts give us valuable insight into globalized forms of communication, their diversity, the global/local dialectic, and the challenges of critical historical and comparative study of transnational media and communication.”Robin Mansell, author of Imagining the Internet: Communication, Innovation, and Governance “With a stellar list of contributors and an engagement with the global that both traces and transcends its boundaries, Ingrid Volkmer’s volume is the cardinal chart of our media worlds.”Mark Deuze, author of Media Life and Media Works “This is a long-overdue volume. The distinguished contributors to The Handbook of Global Media Research have produced a challenging and authoritative guide to understanding the latest developments in global media.”Thomas R. Lindlof, University of Kentucky As new forms of media proliferate, and communication becomes ever more global, transnational media is increasingly capable of both enhancing political, cultural, and economic globalization and shaping worldviews and civic identity. Research into the development of transnational media is therefore an essential element of understanding the changes created by advanced globalization. The Handbook of Global Media Research explores and articulates the key themes and competing approaches of this dynamic and developing field. Bringing together the ideas of more than 40 internationally respected authors from around the world, it provides valuable and varied insights into a globalized media landscape, setting the agenda for the future of transnational media and communications research.

This book introduces a new methodology to assess the way in which journalists today operate within a new sphere of communicative ‘public’ interdependence across global digital communities by focusing on climate change debates.

Wann zuerst hätte ein Buch über ,Jugend und Mode' erscheinen können? Eine interessante, aber äußerst schwierige Frage, wenn man sie historisch-präzis und differenziert zu beantworten sucht. Im groben hingegen liegt die Antwort auf der Hand: den Zusammen­ hang von Jugend und Mode zu beobachten und zu bedenken lohnt sich, seitdem Jugendliche selbst Beiträger zum Mode-Diskurs sind und sich nicht mehr in das fügen, was Eltern ihnen als Kleidung vor­ schreiben. So lange Kinder und Jugendliche wie ihre Eltern in den alterszugeschriebenen Konventionen leben, ist Mode etwas, das die Erwachsenen angeht. Um die Wende zu diesem Jahrhundert späte­ stens hat sich dies, wennzwar allmählich, immer mehr verändert. Wenn die Wandervögel im Zitat der Landsknechtskluft oder in Phantasie-Kostümierungen sich auflehnten gegen den Gehrock ihrer Pauker, die Schuluniform und die Matrosenanzüge, so schufen sie damit erstmals ihre eigene Mode, als Herausforderung an die Über­ lieferung und das Standesdenken. Seitdem hat sich diese Bewegung erheblich beschleunigt, und jetzt ist es soweit, daß in diesem Buch die Behauptung aufgestellt werden kann: es sind heute junge Men­ schen, die die beachtenswertesten und ästhetisch aufregendsten Mo­ de-Innovationen anbieten, sei es aus Protest gegen gesellschaftliche Zwänge oder einfach aus Spiellust. Dies kennzeichnet ihre beson­ dere Stellung im Lebenszyklus: sollte es eine eigenständige Kinder­ mode geben (und es gibt sie wohl), so haben doch die Kinder wenig zu ihr beigetragen: sie bekommen sie verordnet. Ebenso geht es den Erwachsenen: die verschiedenen Berufe fordern verschiedene Klei­ dungsstile, und dies reicht bis in die Freizeit.
