This collection brings together leading critical scholars working in the West to re-read Marx and build on his insights to produce an indispensable analysis of the ways digital technologies are being pressed into the service of neo-liberal economic strategies and military adventurism. Contributions shine a fierce light on developments in both the established capitalist heartlands of North America and Europe and the emerging economic arenas of India and Latin America, detailing the changing organisation of communicative power, the increasing precarity of cultural labour, and new sources of contradiction, contest and social mobilisation. As in Marx’s own writings, penetrating theoretical reflection sits alongside vivid empirical illustrations of exploitation, ideology, and movements of refusal and opposition, demonstrating why a comprehensive critical analysis of communications under contemporary capitalism needs to bring political economy and social and cultural analysis together. It is an exceptional collection, full of provocative arguments and telling examples challenging us to carry Marx’s legacy into the future and demonstrating why he continues to be an indispensable resource. ——Graham Murdock, Professor of Culture and Economy, Loughborough University, UK ? 温故所以知新,启后必须承先,曹晋与莫斯可教授主编的《批判传播研究:西方视野》(英文读本),既解构又建构,让人耳目一新。资本体制的危机盘旋上升,日趋严峻,传播产业亦然。因此,劳动情境的恶化无法因为创意论述的掩饰而减缓,地球生态窘迫让人正视新媒体无时不在对物质环境巧取豪夺;于是,马克思新闻观的当代理解及其对行动的催促合当再起,全国范围与在地实践的公共传媒必须活络与扩大。读本的作者分进合击,回顾历史而直面现实,从北美、南美、欧洲再至伊斯兰文明与印度,都在注目之列。 ——冯建三 台湾政治大学传播学院教授
