Media/Theory

Shaun Moores draws on ideas from a range of disciplines, and provides an accessible yet challenging guide to ways of thinking about media and communications in modern life. A core text for higher undergraduate and post-graduate level students.

‘A grasp of an enormous body of work is displayed adroitly … overall the book is a genuine contribution to the literature. It deserves to do well and to help to shape the future of critical reflections on media institutions and practices.’

David Chaney, formerly Professor of Sociology at the University of Durham

‘This is an accomplished and elegant set of discussions, where an unusually broad range of theory from the humanities and social sciences, much of it to do with media but much of it not, is examined and organized.’

Graeme Turner, Professor of Cultural Studies at the University of Queensland
