Features: This book focuses on introducing representative works in recent Western communication and cultural studies, aiming to broaden perspectives, deepen understanding, and thereby advance localized research. It is a masterful work on media culture. The author argues that media culture has now become the mainstream form of culture, not only influencing socialization but also penetrating into the core of identity. He analyzes several key concepts and, based on a thorough examination of media culture cases (such as film, television, music, and novels), provides a critical evaluation of the positive and negative aspects of media culture. This offers a profound and unique perspective and methodology for understanding and dissecting the dazzling contemporary Western media culture and its impact.
