In contemporary debates, communication is variously invoked as a panacea for the problems of both democracy and love, as a dream of a new information society brought about by new technologies, and as a wistful ideal of human relations. How, and why, did communication come to shoulder the load it carries? In John Durham Peters's work, the teachings of Socrates and Jesus, the theology of Saint Augustine, the political philosophy of Locke, and the American tradition from Emerson through William James all become relevant for understanding communication in our age. Peters finds that thinkers across the centuries have struggled with the same questions - how we can hope for contact with others, what has become of human beings in increasingly technological times, how new modes of communication have altered the ways the world is imagined and how we relate to others - and he weaves intellectual history and communications history together. The book traces the yearning for contact not only through philosophy and literature but also by exploring the cultural reception of communication technologies from the telegraph to the radio. The history of communication, Peters shows, is not a triumphant progress toward global harmony but rather a collection of uncanny devices that conjure angels, spirits and alien intelligences. His is an account of a complex concept that has both shaped us and been shaped by us.

苏格拉底·耶稣·孔子 按：还有一个“述而不作”的先师：佛陀。只是我对他知之甚少，故也就不提他了。 根据时髦的见解，一个学人应当大胆而自由地创新。据说，创新是思想的生命力所在。又据说，创新的意思就是，在知识上没有任何藩篱，在思想上不受任何束缚。于是，学者们、...
評分我之前洋洋自得地写过这样一段话： 传播的终极目的是对话，通过对话来抵消人与人之间的信息不对称导致的隔阂和冲突。对话本身就区别于灌输和宣传，权力意味没那么浓。如果要幻想传播学的学术愿景和乌托邦，那应该是一个人人可以自由交流、平等对话、相互理解的世界。 看彼得斯...

評分对着虚空说话 --------读《交流的无奈—传播思想史》 小引 《交流的无奈—传播思想史》这本书其实很早就读过了，大概是刚开始准备考研的时候，那时我对传播学的全部准备也就是郭庆光老师的《传播学概论》，和李彬老师的《传播学引论》...
評分一．缘起 一本好书和一部好电影一样，永远是在等着他的读者与观众。相遇更似重逢，而重逢的喜悦与亲切，很大程度上是源自无数次渺小的思考。在没有遇见《对空言说》以前，交流的困境就已然盘旋在我的头顶了，所以在我真正开始读这本书时，会时常感叹我们之间的对话好像早已发生...

文字優美如詩歌，寫的真好
评分Communication is a registry of modern longings
评分去年這個時候在看中文版，筆記記瞭一大本，久違的求知若渴的感覺。因為這本書找到瞭自己感興趣的方嚮，所以感覺看完這本比在新聞學院上四年課的收穫都要多（要不怎麼能意識到傳播學並不隻是貴院整的市場營銷政治傳播呢）。這幾天寫論文又把英文版買來重讀，還能讀齣新奇感和收穫感。不過可能我也隻是在企圖將傳播學往哲學上靠以獲得「我也搞嚴肅學術」之感吧⋯⋯
