Slides for the book (and course) Life in Media: A Global Introduction to Media Studies (The MIT Press 2023). Designed by Mark Deuze, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
This document discusses the relationship between media and love from multiple perspectives. It references theorists who see media as practices that can create new social worlds and influence human relationships. Media is seen as both a way for humans to express their sexual desires and connect with others, as well as a factor that influenced the rise of romantic love through novels. The document advocates for celebrating media's role in human freedom and connection, while also calling for emotional and digital literacy to help people find balance and happiness through networked love.
Mental Health and Well-Being of Media ProfessionalsMark Deuze
First draft of a slide pack to support the Happiness in Media Work project, dedicated to understanding and improving the mental health and well-being of media professionals (in journalism, film/TV, games, advertising, music, and social media entertainment).

It also contains the repeated phrases "fight, surrender, become" and quotes Zygmunt Bauman saying "we are all artists of our lives, like it or not."

This document provides information and advice for an exam on making media, including production practices and professions.

This document discusses media production practices and professions. It touches on topics like social media, digital games, vlogging, community interactivity, and business models for different platforms. It also notes challenges in the industry like crunch time, lack of workforce diversity, and scandals. The industry is described as young, male, and white, with an overreliance on passion that does not provide equal opportunities for all. Retaining staff is also a problem due to issues like crunch time and a "spiral staircase" career path. Destructive behaviors in some game studio cultures are defended and those wanting better conditions are seen as troublemakers.
This document discusses media production and the practices and professions involved. It covers topics like entrepreneurship, affective labor in media like music and film. It also mentions deadlines for a BMC+SWOT paper and discusses startups/entrepreneurship as a symbolic form, affordance network, and cultural practice. Several quotes from interviews talk about the enjoyment people find in entrepreneurial or media work despite long hours and uncertainty.
