PowerPoint has become an integral part of academic and professional
life across the globe. In this book, Hubert Knoblauch offers the
first complete analysis of the PowerPoint presentation as a form of
communication. Knoblauch charts the diffusion of PowerPoint and
explores its significance as a ubiquitous and influential element
of contemporary communication culture. His analysis considers the
social and intellectual implications of the genre, focusing on the
dynamic relationships between the aural, visual, and physical
dimensions of PowerPoint presentations, as well as the diverse
institutional contexts in which these presentations take place.
Ultimately, Knoblauch argues that the parameters of the PowerPoint
genre frames the ways in which information is presented, validated,
and absorbed, with ambiguous consequences for the acquisition and
transmission of knowledge. This original and timely book is
relevant to scholars of communications, sociology, and education.
