Description of the book:

The topic “Media Practice and Everyday Agency in Europe” is dedicated to 
the fundamental question: How is media change related to the everyday 
agency and sense making practices of the people in Europe? This volume 
consists of the intellectual work of the 2013 European Media and 
Communication Doctoral Summer School, organized in cooperation with the 
European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA) at the 
ZeMKI, the Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research of 
the University of Bremen, Germany. The chapters cover relevant research 
topics, structured into four sections: “Dynamics of Mediatization”, 
“Transformations”, “Methods”, and “The Social”.
The European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School brings 
together a group of highly qualified doctoral students as well as 
lecturing senior researchers and professors from a diversity of European 
countries. The main objective of the fourteen-day summer school is to 
organise an innovative learning process at doctoral level, focusing 
primarily on enhancing the quality of individual dissertation projects 
through an intercultural and interdisciplinary exchange and networking 
programme. This said, the summer school is not merely based on 
traditional postgraduate teaching approaches like lectures and 
workshops. The summer school also integrates many group-centred and 
individual approaches, especially an individualised discussion of 
doctoral projects, peer-to-peer feedback - and a joint book production.
