    Open AccessVincent MoscoCHAPTERPower, Media, Culture2015

    Political economy is a living tradition in communication research, one that responds to changes in material conditions and to upheavals in intellectual life.

  • The Two Marxes

    Open AccessVincent MoscoCHAPTER2012

    This chapter examines how political economy and the cultural study of technology inform media analysis and history. It addresses the divide between these two perspectives on media history as a debate between Karl Marx and Leo Marx. Political economy primarily grew from the materialist conception of Karl Marx which viewed technology as dynamic but banal. Karl's work gave rise to a materialist or political economic tradition in media studies that t…

  • Marx is Back, But Which One? On Knowledge Labour and Media Practice

    Open AccessVincent MoscoARTICLEtripleC Communication Capitalism…2012

    The global economic crisis has led to a resurgence of interest in the work of Karl Marx. This paper acknowledges this interest, but asks on which of the many shades of Marx, communication scholars should be focusing their research attention.

  • Knowledge Workers of the World! Unite

    Open AccessVincent MoscoARTICLECommunication Culture and Critique2008Citada por: 1Referencias: 2

    Research in communication studies has tended to cluster around the exploration of three interconnected topics: media, messages, and audiences.
