Conclusion.This book contributes to the foundations of a critical theory of communication as shaped by the forces of digital capitalism. One of the world's leading theorists of digital media Professor Christian Fuchs explores how the thought of some of the Frankfurt School’s key thinkers can be deployed for critically understanding media in the age of the Internet. Five essays that form the heart of this book review aspects of the works of Georg Lukács, Theodor W. Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, Axel Honneth and Jürgen Habermas and apply them as elements of a critical theory of communication's foundations. The approach taken starts from Georg Lukács Ontology of Social Being, draws on the work of the Frankfurt School thinkers, and sets them into dialogue with the Cultural Materialism of Raymond Williams.Critical Theory of Communication offers a vital set of new insights on how communication operates in the age of information, digital media and social media, arguing that we need to transcend the communication theory of Habermas by establishing a dialectical and cultural-materialist critical theory of communication.Critical digital and social media studies.Frankfurt school of sociologyCritical theoryCommunicationSocial aspectsSociologyPhilosophyFrankfurt school of sociology.Critical theory.CommunicationSocial aspects.SociologyPhilosophy.301.01Fuchs Christian257016AuAdUSAAuAdUSAUkMaJRU9910153560903321Critical theory of communication1976134UNINA01225nam 2200349Ia 450 99639392360331620221108083412.0(CKB)3810000000003954(EEBO)2264206723(OCoLC)07953901(EXLCZ)99381000000000395419811124d1657 uy |engurbn||||a|bb|The unsearchable riches of Christ, or, Meat for strong men and milke for babes[electronic resource] held forth in twenty-two sermons from Ephesians III, VIII /by Thomas BrookesLondon Printed by M.S. for John Hancock1657[18], 328 pAt head of title: Anexichniastoi ploutoi tou Christou.Reproduction of original in the Union Theological Seminary Library, New York.eebo-0160Sermons, English17th centurySermons, EnglishBrooks Thomas1608-1680.845272UMIUMIOCLUMIWaOLNBOOK996393923603316The unsearchable riches of Christ, or, Meat for strong men and milke for babes2353674UNISA
