Art In the Age of Mass Media
The inclusion of popular culture in art, and the distinction between the two, we learn in this volume, are problems usefully approached through a careful definition of terms. Walker lays out the terms then surveys the field chronologically, beginning with Courbet and ending with Melrose Place. The third edition contains a new chapter on the art of the 1990's that includes discussion of surveillance, advertising, cinema, Damien Hirst, the Internet, and digital art. c. Book News Inc.
Art in the Age of Mass Media
"Art in the Age of Mass Media extends the debate begun in 1972 by John Berger's Ways of Seeing into a consideration of modern art and the problems faced by living artists. John Walker examines ways in which contemporary 'fine art' practice interconnects with the mass media, the politics of museum art, and the central question of whether fine art retains any vital social role. The author combines critical analyses of selected paintings, adveritsements and photomontages with discussions of pop art, the media's use of art, the impact of mechanical reproduction, and community art, in order to stress the importance of critical responsibilty, not only for those who produce art, but for audiences as well."--BOOK COVER.

The study of various types of programming is essential for critical analysis of the media and also offers revealing perspectives on society's cultural values, preoccupations, behavior, and myths.

How and why do new genres - such as reality TV shows - appear? Are there differences in genres from one country to another? Combining theoretical...
Mass Media in Modern Society
In this lively and yet scholarly book, creative artists, people who direct channels of communications, and social scientists present their numerous positions and deeply felt disagreements.
From Celluloid to Cyberspace
Current knowledge of the operation of the arts world and its underlying dynamics is limited, especially with regard to the media arts--art that is produced using or combining film, video, and computers. The authors examine the organizational features of the media arts, placing them in the context of the broader arts environment and identifying the major challenges they face. They take a structural point of view, discussing audiences, media artists as a group, arts organizations, and funding for the media arts.
Essentials of Mass Communication Theory
'Solid and elegantly written introduction to its subject, up to speed with the current movements in the field, this is an excellent textbook for first-year students. The layout is well-conceived, and interspersed with Berger's own whimsical cartoons' - Sight and Sound
Communication of Migration in Media and Arts
“The main function of traditional media is to provide timely information to the public, but today, traditional media cannot fulfill these expectations with regard to the fluid nature of global migration. New digital media technologies such social media have arisen to fill the void, narrating the lives of migrants in artistic terms that bear the traces of the major social issues of migration. In this critical anthology, contributors examine the intersection of migration, art, and media studies in order to critically analyse the impact of their confluence upon migrant and receiving communities.” Vildan Mahmutoğlu is Associate Professor at Galatasaray University, Istanbul.
