Media Uses and Everyday Environmental Experiences: A Positive Critique of Environmental Geography
This paper offers a critical yet sympathetic engagement with a body of work produced some years ago in the area of phenomenological geography, assessing the relevance of that work for the study of media uses in daily living. It is argued that many of the concepts and methods employed by phenomenological geographers could now be applied in the field of media and communications, with the aim of developing what might be called a phenomenological investigation of media uses and environments.
Shaun Moores is the author of a number of influential books in Media Studies, including Interpreting Audiences (Sage 1993) Satellite Television and Everyday Life (John Libbey 1996) Media and Everyday Life in Modern Society (Edinburgh University press 2000) and most recently Media/Theory (Routledge 2005).
