This book is a product of an ongoing intellectual ferment aimed to conceptualise not only processes of change within media, but also the role of media in processes of social change. It is an outcome of the intellectual work of the 2012 ECREA European media and communication doctoral Summer School and aims to promote the underlying idea of the summer school, which is to promote pluralism of theoretical and methodological approaches to studying contemporary (mediated) communication and to establish bridges and dialogue with these diverse and often still culturally enclosed approaches.

The book occupies a liminal position in the field of academic books as it presents both work in progress and completed research. It presents a significant part of the intellectual work of the Summer School, but at the same time it cannot be reduced to a format of conference proceedings since most chapters significantly differ from the work presented at the Summer School.

Past, future and change: Contemporary analysis of evolving media scapes is a reviewed book, a result of collective endeavour of its many editors, who paid particular effort in supporting the six chapters provided by emerging scholars – the Summer School students.
