Summary

Inspired by Walter Benjamin's classical "Arcades Project", this book offers an exploration of the interface between communication, shopping and everyday life. It scrutinises four main media circuits - print media, media images, sound and motion, and hardware machines - to assess how media texts and technologies are selected, purchased and used
