Postman, Neil Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business
Penguin November 4, 198 0-14-009438-5 / 9780140094381 Paperback Near Fine
From the author of Teaching as a Subversive Activity comes a sustained, wit hering and thought-provoking attack on television and what it is doing to u s. Postman's theme is the decline of the printed word and the ascendancy of the "tube" with its tendency to present everythingmurder, mayhem, politics , weatheras entertainment. The ultimate effect, as Postman sees it, is the shrivelling of public discourse as TV degrades our conception of what const itutes news, political debate, art, even religious thought. Early chapters trace America's one-time love affair with the printed word, from colonial p amphlets to the publication of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. There's a bitin g analysis of TV commercials as a form of "instant therapy" based on the as sumption that human problems are easily solvable. Postman goes further than other critics in demonstrating that television represents a hostile attack on literate culture.
