This book offers a relevant contribution to the studies of streaming media and transmediality with an original approach of cultural sustainability perfectly intertwined with cultural memory beyond borders. By critically reflecting on popular streaming media series, the book identifies their impact on the global circulation of cultural memory, their learning potential for educational purposes, and the societal challenges and opportunities that emerge from the ubiquitous streaming media penetration and potential for participatory practices. It also investigates how series available worldwide on commercial platforms such as Netflix and Max contribute to the global circulation of cultural memories, in addition to illuminating the ethical, (un)sustainable, and educational concerns involved in the fictionalization of the past. Drawing on the authors’ expertise in media studies and history, this transdisciplinary book will interest scholars in the fields of media studies, cultural studies, memory studies, history, transmedia studies, education, postdigital studies, television studies, social communication, sociology, and philosophy.

Making Media Futures
Making Media Futures offers a multi-perspectival exploration of how imaginaries and knowledge of the future are constructed in and through various media. The volume addresses the discursive dimensions of imaginaries and future visions as well as the impact of technological, material, and cultural conditions on the propagation of future discourses through media. Providing both theoretically detailed and empirically rich investigations, the contributions offer a wide range of cases spanning the century from the end of World War II until today and looking at examples from the Southern Hemisphere as well as the Global North. Bringing together scholars in media studies, science and technology studies (STS), and the history and philosophy of technology, the chapters discuss future visions and imaginations of quantum computing, the uncertainty and impact of AI-based text-to-image generation, the ideology behind 5G telecommunication standards, imaginaries of the Internet of Things, transmedia strategies in global and local climate protests, how broadcast radio was implicated in the evangelical mission imaginary, and how early visions of automating scholarly information management shaped standards and ideals of academia. The volume thus complements existing approaches and analytical frameworks for the study of imaginaries and futures discourses with perspectives that are sensitive to the plurality of media-specific conditions and technologies. The book will interest students and scholars working in media studies, STS, history and philosophy as well as at the intersection of engineering, humanities and social sciences, on matters such as sustainability, ethics, and responsible innovation.
