Trine Syvertsen est professeure d'études des médias dont le travail examine de manière critique les médias en ligne, la télévision, la politique des médias et l'histoire des médias. Ses recherches portent sur les réponses du public aux médias, explorant des thèmes tels que l'antipathie, la protestation et l'abstention. Syvertsen enquête plus avant sur les implications sociétales plus larges des technologies médiatiques et leur influence sur nos vies. Ses recherches abordent également les médias invasifs et la désintoxication numérique, révélant son engagement à comprendre comment la technologie façonne notre comportement et notre société.
Against a backdrop of increasingly intrusive technologies, Trine Syvertsen explores the digital detox phenomenon and the politics of disconnection from invasive media. With a wealth of examples, the book demonstrates how self-regulation online is practiced and delves into how it has also become an expression of resistance in the 21st century.
Protest, Dislike, Abstention
This book is open access under a CC BY license. New media divide opinion; many are fascinated while others are disgusted. This book is about those who dislike, protest, and try to abstain from media, both new and old. It explains why media resistance persists and answers two questions: What is at stake for resisters and how does media resistance inspire organized action? Despite the interest in media scepticism and dislike, there seems to be no book on the market discussing media resistance as a phenomenon in its own right. This book explores resistance across media, historical periods and national borders, from early mass media to current digital media. Drawing on cases and examples from the US, Britain, Scandinavia and other countries, media resistance is discussed as a diverse phenomenon encompassing political, professional, networked and individual arguments and actions.
