"Fascinating Meyrowitz is a clear writer, most important, he is a clear, original thinker." St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The question of how television has affected our everyday lives has generated endless arguments and speculations, but no thinker has addressed the issue with such force and originality as Joshua Meyrowitz in No Sense of Place. Advancing a daring and sophisticated theory, Meyrowitz shows how, with electronic media, our experiences and behaviors are no longer shaped by where we are or who is "with" us. Television, he claims, has altered the balance between public and private spaces and lifted many of the old veils of secrecy between children and adults, men and women, and politicians and average citizens. The result has been a series of revolutionary changes, including the blurring of age, gender, and authority distinctions.
Joshua Meyrowitz is Professor of Communication at the University of New Hampshire. Vissza
