This book outlines and contributes to the foundations of
Marxist-humanist communication theory. It analyses the role of
communication in capitalist society. Engaging with the works of
critical thinkers such as Erich Fromm, E. P. Thompson, Raymond
Williams, Henri Lefebvre, Georg Lukacs, Lucien Goldmann, Gunther
Anders, M. N. Roy, Angela Davis, C. L. R. James, Rosa Luxemburg,
Eve Mitchell, and Cedric J. Robinson, the book provides readings of
works that inform our understanding of how to critically theorise
communication in society. The topics covered include the
relationship of capitalism, racism, and patriarchy; communication
and alienation; the base/superstructure-problem; the question of
how one should best define communication; the political economy of
communication; ideology critique; the connection of communication
and struggles for alternatives. Written for a broad audience of
students and scholars interested in contemporary critical theory,
this book will be useful for courses in media and communication
studies, cultural studies, Internet research, sociology,
philosophy, political science, and economics. This is the first of
five Communication and Society volumes, each one outlining a
particular aspect of the foundations of a critical theory of
communication in society.
