Description

In the current digital age, media amateurs seem to have revised traditional hierarchies between professionals and amateurs. This development has been characterized as a form of “mass amateurization,” or even “mass cultural production.” To explore the multiple meanings of amateurism, this presentation demonstrates how a media historical approach helps to better understand the full complexity of the concept.
