In this important book, Karin Van Es dissects the circuit of forces  which underpin �liveness�, acknowledging the changing role of media institutions and media users alike. Sharply perceptive and historically well-grounded, Van Es� book is a landmark in our understanding of how media are socially constructed.�\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e Nick Couldry, London School of Economics and Political Science\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e �Karin Van Es has made a key contribution to the study of liveness.

Until recently, it was associated primarily with broadcast media, and television in particular. However, the emergence of social media has brought new forms of liveness into effect. These forms challenge common assumptions about and perspectives on liveness, provoking a revisiting of the concept.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this book, Karin van Es develops a comprehensive understanding of liveness today, and clarifies the stakes surrounding the category of the �live�. She argues that liveness is the product of a dynamic interaction between media institutions, technologies and users. In doing so, she challenges earlier conceptions of the notion, which tended to focus on either one of these contributors to its construction.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBy analyzing the �live� in four different cases – a live streaming platform, an online music collaboration website, an example of social TV, and a social networking site – van Es explores the operation of the category and pinpoints the conditions under which it comes into being. The analysis is the starting point for a broader reflection on the relation between broadcast and social media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface vi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Constellations of Liveness 18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Liveness and Institutionalization 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 “Live” as an Evaluative Category 64\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Social TV and the Multiplicity of the Live 83\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Social Media’s New Relation to the Live 123\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusions 152\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 163\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eResources 173\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 176\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 190\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Society \u0026amp; culture: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Society \u0026amp; culture: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Society%20\u0026amp;%20culture:%20general%20%5BJF%5D%22\"\u003eJF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441780322584,"sku":"9781509502646","price":16.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509502646.jpg?v=1785024594","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-future-of-live-paperback-softback-9781509502646","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
