Product Description

Review

“I admire Wilson′s synthetic approach to audience study and the attention he gives to the burgeoning field of cell phones, computer screens, and video games since in the past most audience study material has been focused on film and television.” (PsycCRITIQUES, March 2009)

"As a pioneering study of phenomenological media analysis … Wilson′s book serves as a useful introduction to this emerging field of research, as well as offering a brief and scathing overview of the wider context of audience studies in which his work is situated. As such, the book will be of interest to scholars from a wide variety of fields and disciplines." (M/C Reviews, February 2009)

Review

"In this lively and original book, Tony Wilson captures the many critical claims and contestations that have shaped the field of audience research, bringing the story up to date with a phenomenological analysis of mass and personalised media users across the globe."–Professor Sonia Livingstone, London School of Economics and Political Science

"Tony Wilson is one of the pioneers of phenomenological media analysis. In this book, he develops a distinctive media–user theory, engaging with important issues of philosophy and method."–Professor Shaun Moores, Centre for Research in Media and Cultural Studies, University of Sunderland
