Investigating the phenomena of technology, science, technique, and mass communication, Piyush Mathur contends that the enterprise of science communication may be misleading vis- -vis technologyâ"if in part because it frequently coextends with a flawed, but dominant, notion of science that presumptuously implicates technology anyway. Grappling with what authentically constitutes science and the prospective effects of its realization on a global future of mass communication, Mathur explores how various technological forms play specifically into ecologically sensitive mass communication. The result is an eco-communicative theory of technology that includes its classification based upon a set of qualitative principles and a profile of the notion of development. On the whole, though, Technological Forms and Ecological Communication: A Theoretical Heuristic brings the fields of philosophy and history of science, philosophy and sociology of technology, communication studies, and development studies into conversation with one another.

Industry Reviews

Mathur’s classifications can serve as the basis of further investigation into the relationship between mass communication, technologies, and ecology and stimulate the intellectual development of the field of eco-communication. Readers will do well by keeping some technologies of interest in mind as they follow the chronicles. On the whole, Technological Forms constitutes a substantial resource for communication scholars, philosophers of technology, those engaged in environmental studies and development studies as well as historians and philosophers of science.
