MAKING MEDIA STUDIES - DAVID GAUNTLETT KARTONIE...

In Making Media Studies  David Gauntlett turns media and communications studies on its head. He
proposes a vision of media studies based around doing and making - not about the acquisition of
skills  as such  but an experience of building knowledge and understanding through creative
hands-on engagement with all kinds of media. Gauntlett suggests that media studies scholars
have failed to recognise the significance of everyday creativity - the vital drive of people to
make  exchange  and learn together  supported by online networks. He argues that we should
think about media in terms of conversations  inspirations  and making things happen. Media
studies can be about genuine social change  if we recognise the significance of everyday
creativity  work to transform our tools  and learn to use them wisely. Making Media Studies is
a lively  readable  and heartfelt manifesto from the author of Making is Connecting.
