Communicating Unreality

Modern Media and the Reconstruction of Reality

von Gabriel Weimann

456 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Reviewing the images and meanings of the mass-mediated world, Gabriel Weimann examines the symbolic environment, where reality and fiction are almost inseparable. Through discussion of mass-mediated images of people, cultures, war, love, sex, death, community, and identity, he demonstrates that there is often a large gap between reality and the reconstruction of "realities" as communicated by the mass media.
