Within audience research, middle agers (31 to 59 years) are understood as normal cases. Therefore, studies about the specificities of this age group are rare, especially concerning the mediatization of community building. However, this is an age with typical phases of the life course (for example professional career and re-orientation; marriage and partner change; birth and leave of children etc.), which go hand in hand with partly fundamental changes of media appropriation and (mediatized) communitization. Against this background, it is the aim of this research project to investigate the mediatized community building of middle agers. As a basis for this, their transmedial communication networks and mediatized horizons of communitization are reconstructed in a typifying way. This makes it possible to describe the challenges of a mediatized communitization for middle agers. This is especially the communicative demarcation (communicative securing of communities in contrast to other responsibilities), the communicative mobility (media based organisation of communitization in contrast to an everyday (working) mobility), communicative participation (a media based engagement within the communities) and communicative compensation (interception of community losses by media use). Such characteristics of a mediatization of communitization in middle age are compared with research results of other age groups, that is young people (16-30 years) and the elderly (above 60 years). Such an approach makes it possible to reconstruct different media generations and their moulding by typical experiences of mediatization. In particular, it becomes possible to describe the changes of (mediatized) communitization that relate to the latest mediatization wave of digitalisation and the related changes of communicative construction. The methodological basis of this research is a qualitative network analysis that operates with a triangulation of interviews, drawings of network maps, digital media diaries and a material documentation. As an outcome of this research the project offers on the one hand a concluding assessment of communitization change within mediatized worlds. On the other hand a comprehensive theory of the communicative construction of reality under the conditions of mediatization will be developed, integrating the empirical results of this project, other projects within the priority programme Mediatized Worlds, and further international research. This will be documented within an English monograph in co-authorship.Research area: Network

在受众研究中，中年人（31 至 59 岁）被理解为正常情况。因此，关于这个年龄段的特殊性的研究很少，特别是关于社区建设的媒体化。然而，这是一个具有生命历程的典型阶段（例如职业生涯和重新定位；婚姻和伴侣变化；孩子的出生和休假等）的时代，这些阶段与媒体占用和（媒体化）社区化的部分根本性变化同时发生。在此背景下，本研究的目的就是对中年人的媒体化社区建设进行调查。在此基础上，他们的跨媒体传播网络和媒介化的社区化视野被典型性地重构。这使得描述中年人媒体化社区化的挑战成为可能。这尤其是沟通划分（与其他责任相比，社区的沟通安全）、沟通流动性（与日常（工作）流动性相比，基于媒体的社区化组织）、沟通参与（社区内基于媒体的参与）和沟通补偿（通过媒体使用来拦截社区损失）。中年社区化媒介化的这种特征是与其他年龄段，即年轻人（16-30岁）和老年人（60岁以上）的研究结果进行比较的。这种方法使得通过典型的媒体化经验来重建不同的媒体世代及其塑造成为可能。特别是，可以描述与最新的数字化媒体化浪潮相关的（媒体化）社区化的变化以及传播结构的相关变化。这项研究的方法论基础是定性网络分析，通过访谈、网络地图绘图、数字媒体日记和材料文档进行三角测量。作为这项研究的成果，该项目一方面对媒体化世界中的社区化变化进行了结论性评估。另一方面，将发展媒介化条件下现实的交流建构的综合理论，整合该项目、优先计划“媒介化世界”内的其他项目以及进一步的国际研究的实证结果。这将记录在合着的英文专着中。研究领域：网络
