Abstract "This book outlines and contributes to the foundations of Marxist-humanist communication theory, asking what is the role of communication in capitalist society? Engaging with the works of critical thinkers such as Erich Fromm, E.P. Thompson, Raymond Williams, Henri Lefebvre, Georg Luk©Łcs, Lucien Goldmann, G©ơnther Anders, M. N. Roy, Angela Davis, C. L. R. James, Rosa Luxemburg, Eve Mitchell, and Cedric J. Robinson, the book provides readings of works that inform our understanding of how to critically theorise communication in society. The topics covered include the relationship of capitalism, racism, and patriarchy; communication and alienation; the base/superstructure-problem; the question of how one should best define communication; the political economy of communication; ideology critique; the connection of communication and struggles for alternatives. Written for a broad audience of students and scholars interested in contemporary critical theory, this book will be useful for courses in media and communication studies, cultural studies, Internet research, sociology, philosophy, political science, and economics. This is the first of five Communication and Society volumes, each one outlining the foundations of a critical theory of communication in society"-- Provided by publisher.
