Books in the Routledge Media and Cultural Studies Companions series

This comprehensive collection of all new essays assembles major theoretical approaches to cinema, gender, and spectatorship, covering the intersections with other discourses such as class, ethnicity, sexuality, stars, genres, new media, and feminist modes of address.Bringing together leading figures in the field, the volume provides an overview of cinema and gender, while also reflecting a desire to rethink some of the ways in which feminist film theory and filmmaking are historicized, theorized, and taught. Essays are organised into five parts, each highlighting key areas and approaches. The Companion will be an important resource for researchers and students.

With the increase of digital and networked media in everyday life, researchers have increasingly turned their gaze to the symbolic and cultural elements of technologies. From studying online game communities, locative and social media to YouTube and mobile media, ethnographic approaches to digital and networked media have helped to elucidate the dynamic cultural and social dimensions of media practice. The Routledge Companion to Digital Ethnography provides an authoritative, up-to-date, intellectually broad, and conceptually cutting-edge guide to this emergent and diverse area.
