Reviews

Herbig, Herrmann, Tyma, and their colleagues provide a text that reaches through dualistic and reductivist interpretations of new media and into a world of fragmented streams of communication structured by multiple discourses-polymediation. The framework of polymediation provides an overarching perspective to tie together diverse scholarly pursuits. The authors have created a touchstone for both future research and practical applications by providing a deep interrogation of the historical and critical roots of polymedia while maintaining accessibility for the reader. In addition, through the reproduction of mediated conversations between themselves, the authors open up a window into the mundane processes that lead to stimulating theoretical breakthroughs. -- Breanna McEwan, Western Illinois University


This edited collection is the third in the 'Studies in New Media' series (begun in 2012). Herbig, Herrmann, and Tyma offer eight essays that focus on and forward polymedia, a concept introduced by Mirca Madianou and Daniel Miller. The editors begin by defining polymedia (a noun that also has verb, adjective, and adverb forms) as a means of moving past convergence. The breadth of the term allows the editors to bring together essays from many disciplines, including rhetoric, phenomenology, feminist studies, and media studies...The editors offer the collection as an opening salvo in a conversation around polymedia, and they suggest that the conversation be continued on social media resources (e.g., Twitter). Summing Up: ... Graduate students, researchers, faculty.
