Emancipation, the Media, and Modernity ' Arguments about the Media and Social Theory '

by Nicholas Garnham

Book Overview

This book adopts a polemical stance. It approaches the problems raised by the media by way of a set of arguments with the two dominant paradigms now current for thinking about the media: post-modernism and Information Society theory. It argues that the media are important because they raise a set of questions that have been central to social and political theory since the Enlightenment.
