While other books on this topic examine traditional anthropology and push that field toward the media, in this book, editors Eric W. Rothenbuhler and Mihai Coman take a novel approach by analyzing media studies and guiding that field toward anthropological thinking. This anthology charts media anthropology as a field of study and provides examples of current research that identify its major concepts and methods in chapters written by leading scholars from several countries and academic disciplines.</p><p></p><p><b>Key Features</b>:</p><ul type="disc"><li>Offers original articles, and a few selected reprints, from leading worldwide scholars in a variety of academic disciplines to provide the most integrated treatment of this interdisciplinary topic</li><li>Contains introductions that set the context for articles written from varying points of view</li><li>Includes a <i>&#8220;Theory into Practice&#8221;</i> section that shows how anthropological concepts and methods can improve the teaching and practice of media studies</li><li>Makes the relevant literature accessible in an up-to-date and even-handed organization, offering students a broader understanding than they could obtain from other books, which are primarily anthropological in disciplinary orientation</li></ul><p></p><p><strong>Media Anthropology</strong> is an excellent textbook for undergraduate and graduate students studying media anthropology in communication and media studies, journalism, anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies programs.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p> 1970788 5 5 2005 Media Anthropology total:1|5:1| 1 5 2 0 1967623 1412906709 9781412906708 1 0 5.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1191025710m/1967623.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1967623.Media_Anthropology 5 0 false Tue Jun 30 10:20:08 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 18 16:34:44 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 30 10:20:08 -0700 2009 1967623 1412906709 9781412906708 1 0 5.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1191025710m/1967623.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1967623.Media_Anthropology 0 0 false Fri Sep 28 17:28:59 -0700 2007 Fri Sep 28 17:29:04 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1967623
