The most significant philosopher of Being, Martin Heidegger has
nevertheless largely been ignored within communications studies.
This book sets the record straight by demonstrating the profound
implications of his unique philosophical project for our
understanding of today s mediascape. The full range of Heidegger s
writing from Being and Time to his later essays is drawn upon.
Topics covered include: - an analysis of Heidegger's theory of
language and its relevance to communications studies - a critical
interpretation of mass media and digital culture that draws upon
Heidegger's key concept of Dasein - a discussion of mediated being
and its objectifying tendencies - an assessment of Heidegger's
legacy for future developments in media theory Clear explanations
and accessible commentary are used to guide the reader through the
work of a thinker whose notorious reputation belies the highly
topical nature of his key insights. In a world full of digital
networks and new social media, but little critical insight,
Heidegger and the Mediashows how a true understanding of the media
requires familiarity with Heidegger s unique brand of thinking.
