• Sommario/riassunto: This volume, edited by Sune Bechmann Pedersen, Marie Cronqvist, and Ulrika Holgersson, explores the field of media history by examining cultural and material perspectives. It addresses how media history has evolved from the fringes of media studies and history into a distinct discipline. The book discusses the role of media as both technology and culture, emphasizing the importance of understanding media within historical contexts. It challenges traditional narratives and highlights the dynamic interplay of media technologies over time. Intended for scholars and students, the book encourages a broader understanding of media's role in society and its historical trajectories.
