great overview, great theoretical framework
This is not one of those "intro to" books that water down the subject and leave you falling asleep at your chair. It's a dynamic introduction to exciting debates over technology, at the same time that it presents the case to think about technology along with culture rather than in opposition to it. Some great readings of art too, and the relation of art/artists to the question of technology. It also lays the groundwork for the recent theorizations of technology in books like Transductions: Bodies And Machines at Speed (Technologies: Studies in Culture & Theory). I highly recommend Culture and Technology - both for readers looking for an introduction to debates on technology, and to those interested in some good thinking on the question of the intersection of culture and technology.

An excellent overview
From what I've seen, this book contains one of the best overviews of people and ideas that have influenced this field for the past few centuries. It's dated 2003 so includes some very recent material as well. ... Read more

Product Description
Throughout the chapters, extended narratives are used to develop theoretical arguments, allowing students to see how the theories work in actual situations. The purpose of the text is threefold: First, it helps develop a theory of organizational life that speaks directly to the agency of its members and to the organization as the domain of its practical expression. Second, it more thoroughly articulates and integrates the concepts of the self, morality, the organization, power, and resistance. Third, it provides readers with the analytical tools to consider their own moral conduct as organizational members. ... Read more

Liked concepts.
I enjoyed this book that I HAD to read. I wouldn't ever read it again, but the information that I learned from it is interesting and can be applied throughout my life within the business world. Lots of information on Communication management to apply to businesses.

Product Description
In this innovative study, Daniel A. Cohen explores a major cultural shift embodied in hundreds of early New England crime publications. Tracing the declining authority of Puritan ministers, he shows how the arbiters of an increasingly pluralistic literary marketplace gradually supplanted pious execution sermons with last-speech broadsides, gallows verses, criminal autobiographies, trial reports, newspaper stories, and romantic docudramas. "Pillars of Salt, Monuments of Grace" probes the forgotten origins of our modern mass media’s preoccupation with crime and punishment. ... Read more

Product Description
We are all amply provided, with moral maxims, which we hold with more or less confidence, but an insight into their significance is not attained without reflection and some serious effort. Yet, surely, in a field in which there are so many differences of opinion, clearness of insight and breadth of view are eminently desirable.

It is with a view to helping students of ethics in our universities and outside of them to a clearer comprehension of the significance of morals and the end of ethical endeavor, that this book has been written.

Product Description
Popular culture provides a daily catalog of cultural attitudes, values, and practices. From television sitcoms to the daily news, from the theater to the sports stadium, we observe embodiments and enactments of character, virtue, honesty, and integrity (or lack thereof) in situations we find understandable, if not familiar. The essays in this volume address popular mediated constructions of ethical and unethical communication in news, sports, advertising, film, television, and the internet. Emphasis is on the consumption of popular culture messages, as well as how auditors make moral sense out of what they read, hear, and observe. ... Read more

Product Description
What does society forbid, and why? And how does the forbidden relate to power and social control in society? John Schostak looks at family life, education, popular culture, information media, and the press. He shows how society maps out forbidden courses and "proper" courses for men and women to follow. Then he demonstrates that the forbidden, though often desired, is relied upon to keep people in their place - within the bounds of the familiar. He asserts that this needs to be challenged - through the media, through schooling and through the family - if we are to consider ours a free society. ... Read more
