AI-generated Abstract

This paper discusses the application of cosmopolitanism as a theoretical framework to study media technologies, emphasizing the importance of integrating various scholarly disciplines such as sociology, communication, and science and technology studies. By transcending traditional intellectual boundaries, the authors propose that a cosmopolitan approach fosters innovative research trajectories and encourages critical examination of production, consumption, materiality, and content in media studies. Ultimately, this perspective aims to enhance the understanding of media technologies as fundamental elements within broader social, political, and cultural contexts.
