Edited: Dr. Tudor Weerasinghe,

Dr. DharmaKeerthi Sri Ranjan

The second volume in the series of “Mediology” brings diverse ideologies of scholars from the broad disciplines of media studies and research methods of social sciences. This volume is concerned with intense critiques of theories of media concepts and research methods that are based on current understanding and constructions of the complex society. Media have been far faster with the development of information and computer digital technologies over the last decade in the 21 st century and blurred the boundaries of the forms of mass communication. So, this series of volume attempts to suggest that the “mass” in mass communication should be empowered with the term “media”. The terminology “media” has been crystallizing on the innovative prospect for communication in a massive scale and re-conceptualizing masses from the grounds of homogenization. The academic study of communication should continue as a new media. Mediology has seriously been challenging the core assumptions of traditional empirical and critical potentials of mass communication content and the research as well. So, academic discipline of this volume has been changed to absorb the systems of endless media network across the globe and it has been flexible to demonstrate the methodological potentials to research the media heavy saturated complex behavior of the masses.
