Beschreibung:
William Merrin is a Senior Lecturer in Media Studies, University of Wales, Swansea.
'Baudrillard and the Media' is the first in-depth critical study of Jean Baudrillard's media theory. Rejecting the common positioning of Baudrillard within the discipline as a postmodernist it argues instead for the necessity of a fuller reading of his ideas and critical project.
