Practices, mediatization, mediationAbstract
This article aims a theoretical discussion about certain conceptions which dominate media studies: for example, that the process of communication is a flow of information from the producer to the audiences. Cultural studies rejects this traditional linear model of communication and this kind of narrowly linear assumptions about media impacts although a cultural approach to media has been connected with the study of separated parties: mainly the text and the audiences. Thus the goal of the article is to briefly review another approach which understands media as practice, presented by Nick Couldry. In the article’s conclusion is considered that this approach can be studied through an object of study named mediatized personal stories.Downloads
