The changing pattern of contemporary media is one of the most
striking and important transformations of our age. This major new
work seeks to understand the implications of a series of mediated
processes in relation to public cultures and modern identities. In
The Transformation of the Media the author leads the reader through
a number of complex theoretical issues, connecting the nature of
modern communication to the affects this has on our common moral
and ethical lives. Most significantly, he argues that a number of
perspectives as diverse as Marxism, post-modernism, liberalism,
communitarianism and technological determinism can all be found
wanting in this regard. The Transformation of the Media attempts to
situate the media, and more theoretical concerns, within a broad
sociological framework. The volume adds to our shared understanding
of the media's relation to contemporary cultural transformations
including globalisation, the development of informational
capitalism, the changing nature of the public sphere and the impact
of new social movements. More specifically, through a discussion of
the 'new media order' and the Rwandan genocide a critical prism is
held up to existing debates concerning the globalisation of the
media. Key features: an extremely topical and accessible analysis
of the media's implications for contemporary cultural
transformations combines a theoretical and empirical approach
presents complex theoretical ideas in an accessible way This book
will be essential reading for students studying globalisation, the
global media, new media technology, identity and cultural
development in cultural studies, media studies, and sociology and
politics courses.
