| Zusammenfassung: | Friedrich Krotz is one of the most prominent figures in the field of mediatization studies in Northern Europe and a pioneer of such perspective in Germany, having first introduced this concept and approach to communicationscience research in that country in 1995. After a long career at various German and Swiss universities, as well as a number of important research stays at various universities around the world, Krotz is currently Professor Emeritus of Communication and Media at the Universität Bremen (Germany). In conversation with InMediaciones de la Comunicación, he reflects on his academic career, his assumptions or epistemic starting points, his strongly historical perspective, the processual nature of his approach, and his key original contribution to the field: mediatization as a (historical) “metaprocess”, analogous to other “long-term transcultural metaprocesses” studied by the social sciences, such as globalization, individualization, modernization, literacy, and industrialization, to name a few. |
