Communicology

"Flusser is a painter of oblique strokes, dismantling familiar perspectives. Never less than entertaining, Communicology refreshes, challenges and blasts open unexpected vistas."—Seán Cubitt, University of Melbourne "If you are in search of Flusser the media theorist, indeed, if you are seeking to understand how information works, Communicology is it. Flusser teases out the kinds of fundamental questions that are at the core of the human experience."—Anke Finger, University of Connecticut "Communicology is a central work for any appraisal of Flusser's thinking, and an innovative and singular introduction to media theory."—Erick Felinto, State University of Rio de Janeiro "Communicology is an important work for the study of media theory in general and, more specifically, Flusser's own communication theory."—Rodrigo Petronio, Armando Alvares Penteado Foundation "New theories in communication are rare. However,Communicology—written in 1978, posthumously published (in German), and now newly translated into English—leads the reader to consider contemporary answers to age-old questions.... Though Flusser builds on philosophers suchas Heidegger, this work is original and seminal. Flusser's work is now more important than ever, given the present rapid and radical changes to communication such as ChatGPT. Highly recommended."—K. L. Majocha, CHOICE
