Abstract:

Media discourse is changing at an unprecedented rate. This book presents the
most recent stylistic frameworks exploring different and changed forms of
media. The volume collates recent and emerging research in the expanding field
of media stylistics, featuring a variety of methods, multimodal source
material, and a broad range of topics. From Twitter and Zooniverse to
"Twilight" and Mommy Blogs, the volume maps out new intellectual territory and
showcases a huge scope, neatly drawn together by leading scholars Helen
Ringrow and Stephen Pihlaja.

Contributors write on topics that challenge the traditional notions and
conceptualisations of "media" and the consequences of technological
affordances for the development of media production and consumption. There is
a particular focus on the ways in which contemporary media contexts complicate
and challenge traditional media models, and offer new and unique ways of
approaching discourse in these contexts.
