A partire dalla fine degli anni Settanta le analisi sul consumo dei media sono state caratterizzate da una “svolta etnografica”, orientata a comprendere usi e significati dei mezzi di comunicazione in specifici contesti sociali e culturali. Si tratta di un metodo di tipo qualitativo che si distingue dagli approcci puramente quantitativi, ormai ritenuti fuorvianti sia nelle ricerche accademiche sia nelle indagini di mercato poiché non tengono conto delle forme molteplici e diversificate di fruizione dei media. Questa capacità di analisi contestualizzata è il nucleo dell’approccio etnografico proposto da Shaun Moores nel volume Interpreting Audiences. The Ethnography of Media Consumption (London, Sage, 1993), su cui la recente traduzione de Il Mulino (1998), con il titolo Il consumo dei media, induce a richiamare l’attenzione.

Abstract
As of the end of the seventies the analysis on media consumption were characterized by an "ethnographic turn", oriented to understand the uses and meanings of media in specific social and cultural contexts. It is a qualitative method that differs from purely quantitative approaches, now considered misleading both in academic research both in market research because it does not take into account the many and varied forms of media consumption. This ability to contextualized analysis is the core of the ethnographic proposed by Shaun Moores, Interpreting Audiences in volume. The Ethnography of Media Consumption (London, Sage, 1993), on which the recent translation of The Mill (1998), with the title The media consumption, causes it to draw attention.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
