Recenzje

"Love and Communication marks yet another chapter in Paddy Scannell's searching and brilliant investigations of media, communication, and everyday life. Working through ideas about language and talk, Scannell provides a fascinating account of what restores our trust in the goodness of daily, everyday life: faith, hope, and love. For a new generation of media scholars grappling with a digital world on edge, this book is an indispensable guide."Aswin Punathambekar, University of Virginia"This rare and special book is the synthesis of a career considering the most fundamental issues of communication. It brings together talk and communication, language and writing, radio and television, along with three worlds: God's world of yesterday, the human world of today, and the machine world of tomorrow."John Durham Peters, Yale University"Paddy Scannell's new thought-provoking book is a sort of intellectual and scholarly testament...this profound study is a great deal more than merely a summary of a prominent communications scholar's research and reflections. He also feels forced to explore hitherto largely ignored territory."VoegelinView
