Materialist Media Theory : An Introduction, Paperback by Bollmer, Grant, ISBN 1501337114, ISBN-13 9781501337116, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK

Defining materialism as a set of perspectives united by the claim that physical materiality-be it technology, practice, or body-matters in the shaping of reality, Bollmer introduces materialist theories of media. He argues that physical materiality is essential for any study of media, but not at the expense of the past traditions of media and cultural studies-especially the critique of representation and identity, which some of the theorists he reviews seem to reject.
