Topics covered include: · Key thinkers, including Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, and Marshall McLuhan

· Modernism and mass culture
· The history of modernist media and communication technologies
· Modernism's legacies for contemporary new media art With case studies covering such topics as the film writings of Joyce, Woolf and Eliot, popular art and kitsch, the Frankfurt School and the rise of the gramophone, this is an essential guide for students and scholars researching the relationship between modernism and mass media.
