This collection assembles a number of chapters engaging different strands of Martin Heidegger's
philosophy in order to explore issues relevant to contemporary media studies. Following the
release of Heidegger's controversial Black Notebooks and the subsequent calls to abandon the
philosopher this book seeks to demonstrate why Heidegger rather than be pushed aside and
shunned by media practitioners ought to be embraced by and further incorporated into the
discipline as he offers unique and often innovative pathways to address and ultimately
understand our daily engagements with media-related phenomena.
