Technological Forms and Ecological Communication

Autor Piyush Mathur
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 sep 2017
Investigating the phenomena of technology, science, technique, and mass communication, Piyush Mathur contends that the enterprise of science communication may be misleading vis- -vis technology--if in part because it frequently coextends with a flawed, but dominant, notion of science that presumptuously implicates technology anyway. Grappling with what authentically constitutes science and the prospective effects of its realization on a global future of mass communication, Mathur explores how various technological forms play specifically into ecologically sensitive mass communication. The result is an eco-communicative theory of technology that includes its classification based upon a set of qualitative principles and a profile of the notion of development. On the whole, though, Technological Forms and Ecological Communication: A Theoretical Heuristic brings the fields of philosophy and history of science, philosophy and sociology of technology, communication studies, and development studies into conversation with one another.

Descriere

This book explores how various technologies play into ecologically-sensitive mass communication. The result is an eco-communicative theory of technology that includes a classification of technology based upon a set of qualitatively detailed eco-communicative principles as well as a profile of the notion of development.
