"This book is comprehensive and magisterial, and at the same time enormously readable. It will undoubtedly become one of the very few definitive texts in the rapidly growing field of media and cultural studies, providing a crucial link to critical theory and to social theory as a whole." Professor William Outhwaite, University of Sussex
"An extremely powerful and sustained diagnosis of mass media at the turn of the twenty-first century, a diagnosis that is neither idealizing nor apocalyptic. Thompson's book deserves to become a definitive text and should have a lasting impact in the sociology of media and culture." The Australian
"A new book by Thompson in which he compresses and refines his ideas on theorising the media is ... particularly welcome. In this book we have an example of someone writing with tremendous confidence, in self-evident command of both a broad historical sweep and a wide range of relevant studies and theories. With the publication of his book Thompson should move the sociology of mass communication onto a new level of sophistication ... an important publication." Sociology
"The Media and Modernity is refreshingly optimistic in offering a constructive, yet sensible, alternative to the doom and gloom with which the modern media are often regarded. It is impressive in its scope, often insightful in its analysis, and solidly grounded in its arguments, and so makes a valuable contribution to the fields of both media sociology and social theory." British Journal of Sociology
"As an introduction to and an overview of the literature on the interrelations between society, democracy and the media, this book is an invaluable text and may stimulate further reading in more specialist literature." Acta Politica

Thompson的部分观点有些过时了,不过mediated experience以及deliberation demcracy部分读起来受益匪浅

语言比较明白晓畅,但还是属于导论性的文章,逻辑展开并不是很多,停留在理论概念介绍。

谢谢谢谢,谢谢谢谢。这几天读过最流畅的传播学理论了。 John Thompson提到了power的四种形式(political, economic, coercive, symbolic),他认为某一形式权力的行使始终是被其他形式的权力所影响的。So ''symbolic activity is a fundamental feature of social life, on a par with... 谢谢谢谢,谢谢谢谢。这几天读过最流畅的传播学理论了。 John Thompson提到了power的四种形式(political, economic, coercive, symbolic),他认为某一形式权力的行使始终是被其他形式的权力所影响的。So ''symbolic activity is a fundamental feature of social life, on a par with productive activity, the coordination of individuals, and coercion.'' Des Freedman将其和马克思的物质决定意识形态做了对比,并认为symbolic power并不是其他权力行使的前提条件。(马上要被我写到论文里) (展开)

放在当时那个年代应该也算真知灼见了吧,然而谁能想到短短十年digital technologies让media前进了这么大一步,书里fixation、symbolic传播的进程都变成了一种主动的被动而不是完全被动以及人们已经沦为了media帮助资本发展的免费劳工(呵呵呵
