Abstract: This collection assembles a number of chapters engaging different strands of Martin Heidegger's philosophy in order to explore issues relevant to contemporary media studies. Following the release of Heidegger's controversial Black Notebooks and the subsequent calls to abandon the philosopher, this book seeks to demonstrate why Heidegger, rather than be pushed aside and shunned by media practitioners, ought to be embraced by and further incorporated into the discipline, as he offers unique and often innovative pathways to address, and ultimately understand, our daily engagements with media-related phenomena.
