Synopsis: In this major new work, Thompson develops an original account ofideology and relates it to the analysis of culture and masscommunication in modern Societies.
Thompson offers a concise and critical appraisal of majorcontributions to the theory of ideology, from Marx and Mannheim, toHorkheimer, Adorno and Habermas. He argues that these thinkers -and social and political theorists generally - have failed todeal adequately with the nature of mass communication and its rolein the modern world. In order to overcome this deficiency, Thompsonundertakes a wide-ranging analysis of the development of masscommunication, outlining a distinctive social theory of the massmedia and their impact.
