Douglas Kellner es un destacado teórico crítico de tercera generación profundamente comprometido con el impacto de la cultura mediática en la sociedad. Es un pionero en la alfabetización mediática crítica, analizando cómo los paisajes mediáticos contemporáneos están cada vez más moldeados por el espectáculo y el mega-espectáculo. Su trabajo también profundiza en las dinámicas de la alterglobalización, promoviendo movimientos contrahegemónicos y expresiones culturales alternativas en la búsqueda de una sociedad más democrática. Kellner explora el potencial político de los nuevos medios, abogando por un concepto de 'múltiples tecnialfabetizaciones' como alternativa a las formas estandarizadas de alfabetización informática.

In this timely volume, the authors systematically analyze postmodern theory to evaluate its relevance for critical social theory and radical politics today.Best and Kellner provide:* An introduction and critique of the work of Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Baudrillard, Lyotard, Laclau and Mouffe, and Jameson, which assess the varying contributions and limitations of postmodern theory* A discussion of postmodern feminist theory and the politics of identity* A systematic study of the origin of the discourse of the postmodern in historical, sociological, cultural, and philosophical studies.The authors claim that while postmodern theory provides insights into contemporary developments, it lacks adequate methodological and political perspectives to provide a critical social theory and radical politics for the present age.
