Convergence Media History

Convergence Media History explores the ways that digital convergence has radically changed the

ield of media history. Writing media history is no longer a matter of charting the historical

development of an individual medium such as ilm or television. Instead, now that various media

from blockbuster ilms to everyday computer use intersect regularly via convergence, scholars

must ind new ways to write media history across multiple media formats.

This collection of eighteen new essays by leading media historians and scholars examines the

issues today in writing media history and histories. Each essay addresses a single medium—

including ilm, television, advertising, sound recording, new media, and more—and connects

that speciic medium’s history to larger issues for the ield in writing multimedia or convergent

histories. Among the volume’s topics are new media technologies and their impact on tradi-

tional approaches to media history; alternative accounts of ilm production and exhibition, with

a special emphasis on ilm across multiple media platforms; the changing relationships between

audiences, fans, and consumers within media culture; and the globalization of our media

culture.
