STREAM-team member Hendrik Spilker´s new article got published in October 2018 by Information, Communication, and Society. The article is about how the popularity of Twitch.tv challenges old and new ideas about television viewing, with the emphasize on ‘spatial switching’ and ‘affective switching’.
The article gives you an insight into how linear-TV is re-emerging in novel forms, and the emerging spatial and flexible viewing patterns of Twitch users. As Spilker, Ask and Hansen (2018) writes:
However, when delving deeper into how and when they used Twitch, we found that the ‘baseline’ use of Twitch was as background media and that its basic appeal resided in the flexible engagements it rendered possible.
