Investigating the phenomena of technology, science, technique, and
mass communication, Piyush Mathur contends that the enterprise of
science communication may be misleading vis-à-vis technology—if in
part because it frequently coextends with a flawed, but dominant,
notion of science that presumptuously implicates technology anyway.
Grappling with what authentically constitutes science and the
prospective effects of its realization on a global future of mass
communication, Mathur explores how various technological forms play
specifically into ecologically sensitive mass communication. The
result is an eco-communicative theory of technology that includes its
classification based upon a set of qualitative principles and a
profile of the notion of development. On the whole, though,
Technological Forms and Ecological Communication: A Theoretical
Heuristic brings the fields of philosophy and history of science,
philosophy and sociology of technology, communication studies, and
development studies into conversation with one another.
