In contemporary debates, communication is variously invoked as a panacea for the problems of both democracy and love, as a dream of a new information society brought about by new technologies, and as a wistful ideal of human relations. How, and why, did communication come to shoulder the load it carries? In John Durham Peters's work, the teachings of Socrates and Jesus, the theology of Saint Augustine, the political philosophy of Locke, and the American tradition from Emerson through William James all become relevant for understanding communication in our age. Peters finds that thinkers across the centuries have struggled with the same questions - how we can hope for contact with others, what has become of human beings in increasingly technological times, how new modes of communication have altered the ways the world is imagined and how we relate to others - and he weaves intellectual history and communications history together. The book traces the yearning for contact not only through philosophy and literature but also by exploring the cultural reception of communication technologies from the telegraph to the radio. The history of communication, Peters shows, is not a triumphant progress toward global harmony but rather a collection of uncanny devices that conjure angels, spirits and alien intelligences. His is an account of a complex concept that has both shaped us and been shaped by us.

读后感
我承认这本书肯定非常难以翻译，各种双关、同音异义、头韵、尾韵…译者下了很大功夫，译者序写得很好，译者注也很棒。 但是不得不吐槽一下，为什么同一个英文专业术语前后翻译不一样，看得很头疼啊，比如：strangeness前面翻译为奇异性，后面翻译为陌生性（我觉得是陌生化的意...

评分我之前洋洋自得地写过这样一段话： 传播的终极目的是对话，通过对话来抵消人与人之间的信息不对称导致的隔阂和冲突。对话本身就区别于灌输和宣传，权力意味没那么浓。如果要幻想传播学的学术愿景和乌托邦，那应该是一个人人可以自由交流、平等对话、相互理解的世界。 看彼得斯...

评分五星不至于
评分草，难死了
评分把学术著作写出了文学作品的味道
评分去年這個時候在看中文版，筆記記了一大本，久違的求知若渴的感覺。因為這本書找到了自己感興趣的方向，所以感覺看完這本比在新聞學院上四年課的收穫都要多（要不怎麼能意識到傳播學並不只是貴院整的市場營銷政治傳播呢）。這幾天寫論文又把英文版買來重讀，還能讀出新奇感和收穫感。不過可能我也只是在企圖將傳播學往哲學上靠以獲得「我也搞嚴肅學術」之感吧⋯⋯
