Media-Related Changes as Finite Processes: A Response to Ece Algan
Journal Title: Moment Dergi - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
I am very grateful to Ece Algan for taking the trouble to comment on my article ‘The diachronic ethnography of media: from social changing to actual social changes’ (Postill, 2017) and to Moment journal for this opportunity to respond to her comments. Such conversations are all too rare these days, with most of us too busy chasing after elusive metrics to have extended conversations with fellow scholars, and yet they are essential to the advancement of knowledge.
