The Routledge Companion to Digital Ethnography ~ Hardback

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.Author BiographyLarissa Hjorth is Professor and Deputy Dean in Research & Innovation in the School of Media & Communication, RMIT University and was co-founding Director of RMIT's Digital Ethnography Research Centre (DERC).
