Resumo(s)
The book approaches the daily uses, functions, interactions, effects of communication in contemporary digital “world-cultures”. The key objectives are 1) to discuss the mass, social and technological media of production, transmission and reception of information; 2) to provide a practical, pedagogical-didactic resource, solving the problem of the dispersion of perspectives and theories on Sociology of Communication. The main benefit for readers is that the book has a practical contribution: it presents case studies, 24 summary-tables, questions for review/reflection at the end of each of the 13 chapters, and relevant excerpts from the main works/authors. The book is needed because it is an original approach and a synthesis on the dialectic society-communication, stimulating readers to critically reflect how communication is inevitable and unconsciously used. It follows an aporetic strategy about the key findings: i) the implosion of social relations through the use of the more and more intangible, diffuse and diffracted (from the real) new media; ii) the media-human immediacy and dilution; iii) the change to immanence and contingency of immersive communication. The classic reversal: the medium (product) becomes the agent of the reshaping process of man and reality, recreating global and digital ways of being, thinking, feeling, and acting.
