«La tyrannie de la communication» is Ignacio Ramonet's essay on the power of the media, published by Galilée in paperback (200 pages, in French).
Ramonet describes how communication, long associated with liberation through knowledge, has become a dominant ideology: «todo-comunicación» promises happiness and harmony, but floods every sphere of social, political, economic and cultural life, and ends up imposing itself as an absolute obligation.
Published in Paris in 1999 in Galilée's L'espace critique collection. Includes bibliographical references (p. 199-[201]).
For readers of philosophy, sociology and communication interested in the ideological role of the media and the critique of contemporary society.
