About this product
Product Information
Walter Benjamin (1892-1940), one of the most original and perceptive thinkers of the twentieth century, offered a unique insight into the profound impact of the media on modern society. Jaeho Kang?s book offers a lucid introduction to Benjamin?s theory of the media and its continuing relevance today. The book provides a systematic and close reading of Benjamin?s critical and provocative writings on the intersection between media - from print to electronic - and modern experience, with reference to the information industry, the urban spectacle, and the aesthetic politics. Bringing Benjamin?s thought into a critical constellation with contemporary media theorists such as Marshall McLuhan and Jean Baudrillard, the book helps students understand the implications of Benjamin?s work for media studies today and how they can apply his distinctive ideas to contemporary media culture. Kang?s book leads to a fresh appreciation of Benjamin?s work and new insight into critical theoretical approaches to media. The book will be of particular interest to students and researchers not only in media and communication studies but also in cultural studies, film studies and social theory, who are seeking a readable overview of Benjamin?s rich yet complex writings.

- -***- (127)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem arrived damaged. Item was described as new but was clearly packaged in used condition. Packaging, which consisted of a fragile plastic bag and nothing else, was pathetic and completely useless for the job. Communication with seller was poor. I tried contacting seller to describe problem and was met with an entirely inappropriate automated response. I consider this seller to be a con artist. If you like your books to be in good condition: AVOID THIS SELLER AT ALL COSTS. You have been warned.
