A Postmodernist Interpretation of the Impact of Mass Media on Society
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page evaluation of the contention presented by author Dominic Strinati in his book “Introduction to Theories of Popular Culture” that “society has been subsumed within the mass media”. This paper analyzes the influence of the media from a postmodernist perspective, calling into play the theories of men like Harvey, Jameson, Baudrillard, Lyotard, Foucault, Beck, Giddens, Ritzer and Habermas to conclude that Strinati’s contention does indeed carry a lot of weight. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
