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.

評分读过豆瓣已有的评论,可能有部分援引。 非专业人士,仅是跨专业选修读书笔记,有不妥当之处,欢迎各位指正。 =================================================== 阅读这本《交流的无奈:传播思想史》,作者一再阐述的观点是:交流是不可能的。因为从认知心理学的角度,心...
評分我没怎么读懂这本书,但是我理解作者要表达的意图之一和我的想法契合:人与人之间的真正有效无碍的交流是不可能的。 他还说了很多,以时间为轴,论述了各种交流的不可能性,甚至有对人与动物、人与机器人的交流的看法。我能记得的作者的观点有: 1、作者说宗教传播者(...
