During the mid-1990s, the O.J. Simpson murder trials dominated the media in the United States and were circulated throughout the world via global communications networks. The case became a spectacle of race, gender, class and violence, bringing in elements of domestic melodrama, crime drama and legal drama. According to cultural critic and scholar Douglas Kellner, the Simpson case was just one example of what the author calls 'media spectacle' -- a form of media culture that puts contemporary dreams, nightmares, fantasies and values on display.
Through the analysis of several such media spectacles -- including Elvis, the X Files, Michael Jordan, and the Bill Clinton sex scandals - Kellner's insightful and fascinating book draws out important insights into media, journalism, the public sphere and politics in an era of new technologies. Media Spectacle is a brilliant dissection of contemporary society; its ongoing appetite for scandal, tragedy and perversion; and the new technologies and media that strive to feed this immense hunger. This is cultural criticism and media analysis at its best.</P>

读了第一章和最后一章，第一章概念是真有趣啊，但是感觉到了最后一章的时候感觉选举的例子略无聊，以及视野略有些狭隘……

评分Kellner的media spectacle概念基于Datz的media events和Guy Debord的spectacle概念发展而来，但是相比于后者更专注于传播学奇观，相比于前者则有着更加灵活的应用范围，可以借以描述某一小圈层或者imagined community中的传播学现象。相比之下media events的定义要精确和局限得多。

评分#通俗易懂，讨论了现代和后现代社会中很多的媒介景观，其实说是媒介景观，书中也深入探讨了许多社会现状和发展问题，读起来很明朗。
