Emancipation, the Media, and Modernity - Garnham, Nicholas (Professor of Media Studies, Professor of Media Studies, University of Westminster)

Nicholas Garnham argues against the advocates of post-modernity and the Information Society that we are not entering a new historical era but that, on the contrary, underlying debates about the media are a set of very old cultural and political questions. What is at stake are the nature and possibilities of human freedom under the social and economic conditions of capitalist modernity.
