Babe -- $tPublications and Conference Papers by Robert E. Babe 330 $aMedia, Structures, and Power is a collection of the scholarly writing of Canada's leading communication and media studies scholar, Robert E. Babe. Spanning almost four decades of scholarship, the volume reflects the breadth of Babe's work, from media and economics to communications history and political economy.Babe famously characterized Canadian scholars' distinctive contribution to knowledge as uniquely historical, holistic, and dialectical. The essays in Media, Structures, and Power reflect this particular strength. With a clarity of vision, Babe critiques mainstream economics, Canadian government policy, and postmodernist thought in social science. Containing introductions and contributions by other prominent scholars, this volume situates Babe's work within contemporary scholarship and underscores the extent to which he is one of Canada's most prescient thinkers. His interdisciplinary analyses will remain timely and influential well into the twenty-first century. 606 $aCommunication$xEconomic aspects 606 $aMass media$xEconomic aspects 606 $aTelecommunication$zCanada$xHistory 606 $aTelecommunication policy$zCanada 606 $aCommunication$zCanada$xHistory 606 $aCommunication and culture 606 $aEcology$xEconomic aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCommunication$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aMass media$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aTelecommunication$xHistory. 615 0$aTelecommunication policy 615 0$aCommunication$xHistory. 615 0$aCommunication and culture. 615 0$aEcology$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a302.2 700 $aComor$b Edward A., $0920991 702 $aComor$b Edward A.$f1962- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457291903321 996 $aMedia, structures, and power$92065700 997 $aUNINA
