Jaeho Kang's book offers a lucid introduction to Benjamin's theory of the media and its continuing relevance today. Th provides a systematic and close reading of Benjamin's critical and provocative writings on the intersection between media--from print to electronic--and modern experience, with reference to the information industry, the urban spectacle and aesthetic politics. Bringing Benjamin's thought into a critical constellation with contemporary media theorists such as Marshall McLuhan and Jean Baudrillard, th helps students understand the implications of Benjamin's work for media studies today and how they can apply his distinctive ideas to contemporary media culture. Kang's book leads to a fresh appreciation of Benjamin's work and new insight into critical theoretical approaches to media. Th willbe of particular interest to students and researchers not only in media and communication studies but also in cultural studies, film studies and social theory, who are seeking a readable overview of Benjamin's rich yet complex writings."--Page 4 of cover.
