Recently published by the BFI and University of California Press: _The New Media Book_ edited by Dan Harries (ISBN: 0851709257) _The New Media Book_ brings together scholars from a variety of academic disciplines including film, media, and communication studies to document, analyse, and forecast the shifting parameters of the 'new' media. These scholars share the view that these developments have arisen not out of some sort of cultural, historical, or technological vacuum, but instead have developed within and have been conditioned, pre-empted, and influenced by a broader context and array of existing media technologies, production strategies, narratives, aesthetics, spectatorships, and patterns of consumption. The book is divided into five sections that represent areas of analysis typically conducted in the study of media: Technologies, Production, Texts, Consumption, and Contexts. Of course, the very nature of new media makes such division into discreet sections a fairly difficult task, and while each chapter makes a solid contribution to its designated section, it also makes pertinent connections across the sections and highlights the dynamic and fluid nature of the 'new' media.
