Von der hinteren Coverseite

Communication Theory Today offers a wide-ranging overview of current theoretical work in media and communication studies. It provides the methods and the theoretical resources for understanding the dramatic changes which are taking place in the sphere of information and communication in the late twentieth century. At the same time, it shows how these changes are linked to broader developments - both at the level of global transformation and at the level of everyday interaction, where individuals negotiate matters of identity, knowledge and shared meaning.

Interdisciplinary in character, the contributions to this volume are concerned to show how the key questions in communication theory and research intersect with central themes in social theory and critical cultural studies.

The contributors, all of whom are internationally renowned in their respective fields, include Ien Ang, Deirdre Boden, James M. Collins, Klaus Krippendorff, William Leiss, Denis McQuail, William Melody, Joshua Meyrowitz, Mark Poster, Majid Tehranian, John B. Thompson and Tuen van Dijk.
