the return of the Frankfurt school critique in the popularisation of new media & conclusion (11/27)

In this lecture, on thing which was important was that there are two ways to create a media.

One is to reflect the traditional to make a new thing. This can be thought as paintings like Picasso, and so on. these paintings are not a new way. They just followed the traditional ways to paint.

But on the other hand, there is a way to create new by not reflecting the traditional. By just combining many new things, it create another new thing. By this we can get various of new things than before.


I also have learned that the politicans used media to scatter people's concentrations. For example, in Korea, Jeon Doo Hyun used 3S( sport, sex, screen) to scatter people's concentrations. So I can say media is a very powerful weapon.
