JF - Concept JA - Concept VL - 7 IS - 1 SE - Reviews DO - UR - http://concept.lib.ed.ac.uk/article/view/2480 AB - In past years, a number of writers – including Astra Taylor, Cory Doctorow, Howard Rheingold, Christian Fuchs, and others – have published important books about the dynamics of the social media. Yet, Thomas Allmer has managed to find a unique standpoint that provides his book with a much-deserved place in this somewhat cluttered research space. Based on a combination of in-depth theoretical inquiry and sound quantitative research, Critical Theory and Social Media addresses issues pertaining to theory and practice in equal depth – thus walking the walk of critical social praxis.
