It's been said that without Harold A. Innis there could have been no Marshall McLuhan. Empire and Communications is one of Innis's most important contributions to the debate about how media influenced the development of consciousness and societies. In this foundational work, he traces humanity's movement from the oral tradition of preliterate cultures to the electronic media of recent times. Along the way, he presents his own influential concepts of oral communication, time and space bias, and monopolies of knowledge. With a new introduction by Alexander John Watson, author of Marginal Man: The Dark Vision of Harold Innis, and a new foreword by series editor Andrew Calabrese, this previously hard-to-obtain book is now readily available again. All communication scholars should have this classic book on their shelves, and it also serves as a great supplementary text in communication and economics courses.

评分伊尼斯的这本著作并不好读,“他的每一句话都是一片浓缩的专论。他的每一页书上都是一个小小的藏书室,常常还有一个参考文献库。”封底上的话似乎是在提醒我,翻开这本书的同时我就要做好面对海量信息的准备。事实的确如此,初读时感觉著作似乎只是在罗列传播媒介发展的经...
评分伊尼斯极为注重对历史感的把握。 时间媒介与国家传承 帝国等于时间加空间。时间既是朝代问题和人生寿限问题,也是宗教问题。在近代民主发明之前很长的时间内,帝国的兴衰期和君主对寿命的预期相关。在同时代合理的寿命限度内,缺乏传承意识的君主往往把帝国当做附庸工具而...
