Sociology of Media and Communication

In the contemporary world, the role and power of mass media and communication in terms of their impact on the socialization of young people, politics, and even society building is indisputable. However, for exactly these reasons, mass media and communication are being seriously discussed. Sociologist Éric Maigret, one of France's leading figures in this field, approaches this debate from the perspective of the sociology of communication, whose roots extend to the sometimes overlapping theses of the American empirical school and the Frankfurt School, Habermas and post-Habermas public sphere theories, interactionism, structuralist theories, and cultural studies. It examines this great breakthrough process of media and communication, which shows that expression, sovereignty and participation in a democratizing world are possible simultaneously and together, by also considering the American pragmatist vision. Sociology of Media and Communication is a reference source for students as well as a useful book for anyone who works and thinks in the field of media and communication, and also for anyone who believes that they are not sufficiently informed about what is happening in the field of communication.
