Dr Paško Bilić and Dr Thomas Allmer (Paderborn University, Germany) are editors of Rethinking Media and Communication: A Critical Sociological Lens for Brill Academic Publishing in the Studies in Critical Social Sciences series. The book comprises 17 chapters in which different international authors address key questions about the role of media and communication in capitalist societies. How do power structures shape communication processes? How are inequalities reinforced at different social levels? Drawing on sociology, political economy, media studies, and related fields, the book offers fresh insights into how communication supports dominance, from media commodification to media concentration. It calls for a rethinking of how communication shapes social relations and how social relations, in turn, shape communication, revealing its deep connection to economic and political power.
