书籍介绍
这不是一本读完就能掌握传播学的书,而是一张供初学者自行勘探的地图。作者把大众传播史拆成传播目的、传播技术、组织形态与管制规范四根支柱,再逐一放进印刷术、报纸、电视等具体媒介里考察,强调它们彼此并无固定关联,全凭特定时空情境而定。读者最常抱怨的,正是它“什么都讲了,也等于什么都没讲”——四种研究视角(媒介—文化、媒介—物质、社会—文化、社会—物质)平列铺陈,却刻意不替你裁定高下,留出的正是学派之争的张力。因此它真正的价值不在给出答案,而在让你看清问题版图:适合第一次系统接触传播理论、需要快速建立框架以应对课程与论文的学生,以及愿意自己补读深化的读者;若指望它给出清晰结论或深入个案,可能会失望。

精彩摘录
  • "可将四种不同的视角总结如下: 1.媒介一文化的视角。这一路径将受众成员与媒介文化的特定类型或样式(如真人秀电视或社交节目)相关联,并在一个特定的语境中解读(媒体消费)经验的主观意义。 2.媒介一物质的视角。这一传统的研究强调媒介的属性对媒体内容的塑造及其潜在效果,媒介的属性指的是那些所采取的技术及其所蕴含的接收(者)与生产(者)之间的社会关系。这一派别的研究也将效果归因于特定的组织环境、动力以及产生。 3.社会一文化的视角。此类观点基本上将媒介与媒介经验从属于那些影响社会与个人的更深刻、更强大的力量。同时,相较于政治和经济议题,社会和文化议题更占支配地位4.社会一物质的视角。这种视角常常对媒体"
  • "In telling the history of mass media, we deal with four main elements that are of significance in the wider life of society. These are: certain communicative purposes, needs, or uses; technologies for communicating publicly to many at a distance; forms of social organization that provide the skills "
  • "The history of modern media begins with the printed book – certainly a kind of revolution, yet initially only a technical device for reproducing a range of texts the same as, or similar to, what was already being extensively copied by hand. Only gradually does printing lead to a change in content – "

  • "One common early form of the newspaper was the party-political paper dedicated to the task of activation, information and organization. The party newspaper (published by or for the party) has lost ground to commercial press forms, both as an idea and as a viable business enterprise."
  • "The new prestige or ‘elite’ press was independent from the state and from vested interests and was often recognized as a major institution of political and social life (especially as a self-appointed former of opinion and voice of the ‘national interest’). It tended to show a highly developed sense "
  • "This is the truly ‘mass’ newspaper that was created for sale to the urban industrial masses and designed to be read by almost everyone. It was a fundamentally commercial enterprise (rather than a political or professional project) and was made possible by advances in technologies of scale, concentra"
用户评论
我看的是Sage在2020年出版的第7版,不知道之前的version是什么样的。我对第7版的评价是非常厚的一本书,18个章节涵盖内容很全面,但是行文方式和论述方式非常散,每一段内容都是说一个观点,然后引用xxx研、xxx主义、xxx事件说符合这个观点。把这书认真看完需要非常好的专注力(原谅我是“浏览”完的)。与其是看这样一本大而全的书,不如在了解传播学体系后找每个流派每个部分对应的书看。

孔夫子淘的旧书也比清华大学那俩教授翻译得好得多得多得多 刚读中文版的时候真的怀疑人生
不枉我背了你妈逼一晚上的单词
好拗口的英語。。。
