Journal Article
Communicationism: Cold War Humanism
2020
Overview
Rajagopal talks about cold war humanism. Media as a term has become so commonplace that it is easy to overlook the fact that one word designates all or virtually all technologies of communication, as if they could all be assumed to act in concert, or as if they were uniform. Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno noted that film, radio and the press were all projecting similar effects, they offered a critical concept, arguing that discrete media technologies and their distinct forms of expression were collapsing and merging into each other. \"Culture\" was being reduced to formulaic repetitions of social unity and uniformity, they argued, instead of providing ideas that transcended the status quo or militated against its reproduction.
