The only thing I can think of is Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord and Marshall McLuhan’s work on media.
Oh, and this work by Christian Fuchs.
Problem being:
I think Fuchs is a Marxist-Humanist and I’m not sure what to think of Marxist humanism.
But I could be wrong.
Maybe I should ignore that aspect of their work.
Thoughts?
Got any book recommendations at all?
I’m looking for:
Media studies
Cultural theory
Communications
Internet
Social media
Management and organization
Community-building
Trends
Technology
etc.
^ These are the topics I’m looking into.
And, hopefully, from a Marxist-Leninist or Marxist standpoint (or at least leftist).
Got anything? Maybe advice?
So I’m looking at my bookshelf now and I’m thinking you’d probably also find Psychopolitics by Byung-Chul Han interesting.
Yeah, problem is a lot of my reading on propaganda and communication was before I de-wormed myself of the ‘communism bad’ , so I don’t have too much else to offer other than lib stuff. I think anything modern you can find on Gramsci’s Cultural Hegemony would probably be the most useful for you.
I’ve heard good things about Byung-Chul Han from a separate video so that should work!
