Sommario/riassunto

"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.
