Crisis in the Global Mediasphere : Desire, Displeasure and Cultural Transformation PDF
by J. Lewis
- Information
Description
Crisis in the Global Mediasphere is an innovative account of contemporary culture and a world in crisis.
It examines the ways in which crisis conditions and a crisis consciousness have emerged through the confluence of human desire and human fear.
As one of the world's foremost cultural theorists, Jeff Lewis argues that human society changed dramatically with the rise of agriculture, the apocalypse religions and new forms of economy.
These historically grounded conditions, fears and desires have been radically amplified through the emergence of the modern media and the global economy of pleasure.
This book offers an original and probing perspective of crisis and contemporary cultural transformation, located in terms of global financial crisis, economy, ecology, human sexuality and relationships, global inequality, war and terrorism.
