Mediatization, understood as a historical process of structural, media-related transformation pertaining to many cultural and societal fields, does not concern these fields to the same extent or in the same way. Instead, we can observe different dynamics of societal change related to media depending on the social domain. Moreover, various national and cultural contexts and time-space settings play an important role in influencing how particular fields are mediatized (Hepp, Hjarvard & Lundby, 2010; Driessens, 2011; Molęda-Zdziech, 2013; Kaun 2013; Fast & Kaun, 2014; Lunt and Livingstone, 2016; Jansson 2018; Kopecka-Piech, 2020).
What we would like to understand in this context is what mediatization, and its sub-processes mean, and how they work in different societal and cultural fields. We are also interested in the consequences of mediatization meta-process taking place in different domains. In particular, we suppose that this process has important implications for the development of human communication and media technologies, as well as for the domains where mediatization takes place.
