Divertirsi da morire. Il discorso pubblico nell'era dello spettacolo
'Orwell temeva che i libri sarebbero stati banditi; Huxley, che nessuno desiderasse più leggerli. Orwell temeva coloro che ci avrebbero privati delle informazioni; Huxley, quelli che ne avrebbero date troppe. Orwell temeva che la nostra sarebbe stata una civiltà di schiavi, Huxley paventava l'avvento di una cultura volgere, interessata soltanto a cose frivole. Orwell temeva che saremmo stati distrutti da ciò che odiamo, Huxley, da ciò che amiamo. Il mio libro si basa sulla probabilità che avesse ragione Huxley, e non Orwell'. Prefazione di Emanuele Bevilacqua.

How to Watch TV News
A scathing and prescient look at television news?now updated for the new tech-savvy generation Television news : genuine information or entertainment fodder? Fifteen years ago, Neil Postman, a pioneer in media education and author of the bestselling Amusing Ourselves to Death, and Steve Powers, an award-winning broadcast journalist, concluded that anyone who relies exclusively on their television for accurate world news is making a big mistake. A cash cow laden with money from advertisers, so-called news shows glut viewers with celebrity coverage at the cost of things they really should know. Today, this message is still appallingly true but the problems have multiplied? along with the power of the Internet and the abundance of cable channels. A must-read for anyone concerned with the way media is manipulating our worldview, this newly revised edition addresses the evolving technology and devolving quality of America?s television news programming.

The Disappearance of Childhood
From the vogue for nubile models to the explosion in the juvenile crime rate, this modern classic of social history and media traces the precipitous decline of childhood in America today−and the corresponding threat to the notion of adulthood.Deftly marshaling a vast array of historical and demographic research, Neil Postman, author of Technopoly, suggests that childhood is a relatively recent invention, which came into being as the new medium of print imposed divisions between children and adults. But now these divisions are eroding under the barrage of television, which turns the adult secrets of sex and violence into popular entertainment and pitches both news and advertising at the intellectual level of ten-year-olds.Informative, alarming, and aphorisitc, The Disappearance of Childhood is a triumph of history and prophecy.

Conscientious Objections
In a series of feisty and ultimately hopeful essays, one of America's sharpest social critics casts a shrewd eye over contemporary culture to reveal the worst -- and the best -- of our habits of discourse, tendencies in education, and obsessions with technological novelty. Readers will find themselves rethinking many of their bedrock assumptions: Should education transmit culture or defend us against it? Is technological innovation progress or a peculiarly American addiction? When everyone watches the same television programs -- and television producers don't discriminate between the audiences for Sesame Street and Dynasty -- is childhood anything more than a sentimental concept? Writing in the traditions of Orwell and H.L. Mencken, Neil Postman sends shock waves of wit and critical intelligence through the cultural wasteland.

Das Verschwinden der Kindheit
Dieses Buch bricht den faulen Frieden, den die Erwachsenen mit der Gleichgültigkeit geschlossen haben, um die Welt bis in die Nischen hinein nach ihrem Bilde einzurichten. Es handelt von dem vielleicht folgenschwersten kulturellen Kolonisierungsunternehmen in der Gegenwart: der Zerstörung der Kindheit durch Mißachtung oder Destabilisierung ihrer Spielräume, ihrer inneren Geschichte und ihrer spezifischen Zeitrechnung. Brisant ist nicht nur Postmans These, daß in der abendländischen Zivilisation die Idee der Kindheit im Verschwinden begriffen sei, sondern auch seine intelligente Analyse der elektronischen Medien, die er als die machtvollen Beschleuniger dieser Entwicklung bestimmt. Postmans Kritik gilt der Allianz von Kommerz, Ideologie und Gedankenlosigkeit gegen die Ansprüche der Kinder auf eine eigene, freie Lebenszeit: auf die Kindheit nicht als eine biologische, sondern vielmehr als eine kulturelle Erfahrung. Die Vorstellungs- und Empfindungswelt der Kindheit ist endgültig dann abgeschafft, wenn die Kinder und Jugendlichen nur noch zu Erwachsenen-Wünschen fähig sind.
