Inhaltsangabe

For Debray (philosophy, UniversitT de Lyon III, France), human culture is "transmitted" rather than communicated. It is transmitted through technology and social institutions, rather than simply handed down from generation to generation through language. He argues for a concept of "mediology" in which culture is understood to be affected ("mediated") by vectors and messengers of meaning which differ from the pure "symbol." He argues that this process has been ignored by philosophers of culture and language and by the social sciences. Translated from the French work Transmettre . Annotation c.
