How can such a pliable notion meaningfully function as an instrument of classification in so many industries and scientific communities? Comprising a wide range of case studies on the standards, practices, and politics of formats from scholars of photography, film, radio, television, and the Internet, Format Matters charts the many ways in which formats shape and are shaped by past and present media cultures. This volume represents the first sustained collaborative effort to advance the emerging field of format studies UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/37545/1/978-3-95796-156-3-Format-Matters.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/37766 ER -
