O knihe

Production Studies is a landmark collection that closely examines the texts, institutions, and practices of media industries in order to allow media studies students and scholars to think more precisely and holistically about media production as a cultural activity. The book is comprised of all new essays exploring the cultures, social organization, work practices, and belief systems of media practitioners. Each section results from a combination of situated fieldwork, empirical or from-the-ground-up studies, and critical analysis. Individual chapters draw upon a diverse array of earlier production studies across a range of ethnographic, sociological, critical, material, and political-economic methodologies as each author presents their own contemporary research.

The contributors include distinguished and new scholars from a range of academic disciplines-Film and Media Studies, Communication, Sociology, and Anthropology. The authors and editors are especially interested in how the cultural activities of production workers fit within and animate the new realities of a post-Fordist and neoliberal economy, flexible and outsourced labor practices, multimedia convergence, and multinational, corporate conglomeration.
