This book draws on the work of practice theorists such as  Wittgenstein,  Foucault, Bourdieu, Barth and Schatzki and rethinks the  study of media  from the perspective of practice theory. Drawing on  ethnographic case  studies from places such as Zambia, India, Hong Kong,  the United States,  Britain, Norway and Denmark, the contributors  address a number of  important themes: media as practice; the  interlinkage between media,  culture and practice; the contextual study  of media practices; and new  practices of digital production.  Collectively, these chapters make a  strong case for the importance of  theorising the relationship between  media and practice and thereby  adding practice theory as a new strand to the anthropology of media.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>More information: <a href=\"https:\/\/exchange.shu.ac.uk\/owa\/redir.aspx?C=2c83dcd052d740a4a0651a46965a6e90&amp;URL=http%3a%2f%2fberghahnbooks.com%2ftitle.php%3frowtag%3dBrauchlerTheorising\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/berghahnbooks.com\/title.php?rowtag=BrauchlerTheorising<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Br\u00e4uchler, B. and J.
