Media Frictions

Media Frictions
Podcast Description
The dynamics of friction matter, for storytelling, for digital and global connections, and for media and social inequalities. The meaning of friction is multilayered: friction is an energetic spark, a form of social tension, and a sign of difference. We feel media friction in our daily lives, from the contingencies of media engagement, to the tensions of trustworthy information during conflict and crisis. And yet friction is often framed as something to defuse in mediated settings, to smooth away differences and encourage easy encounters. But, what of the sparks that friction generates?https://ju.se/samarbeta/event-och-konferenser/konferens/media-frictions-international-symposium.html
