Communicology is Vilém Flusser's first thesis on his concepts of
technical images and technical imagination. In this foundational
text he lays the groundwork for later work, offering a
philosophical approach to communication as a phenomenon that
permeates every aspect of human existence. Clearly organized around
questions such as "What is Communication?," "What are Codes?," and
"What is Technical Imagination?," the work touches on theater,
photography, film, television, and more. Originally written in
1978, but only posthumously published in German, the book is one of
the clearest statements of Flusser's theory of communication as
involving a variably mediated relation between humans and the
world. Although Flusser was writing in the 1970s, his work
demonstrates a prescience that makes it of significant contemporary
interest to scholars in visual culture, art history, media studies,
and philosophy.
