Patrice Flichy offers a profound analysis of the social shaping and
impact of the major communication technologies of the last 200
years. From the semaphore and telegraph to contemporary information
technologies, Dynamics of Modern Communication focuses on the
relationship between technological and social change. Particular
emphasis is put on four processes: the birth of the modern state at
the end of the eighteenth century; the development of stock
markets; the transformation of private life in the modern nuclear
family; and the individualism of the late twentieth century.
Exploring the interaction of technology and social context - for
example, in the move from public methods of communication to more
private and individualized forms - Flichy exposes the gap between
the original conception of a technology and its end use after the
interplay of political, economic and consumer forces.
