Neil Postman

Geboren in 1931

Culture Media

Neil Postman was een Amerikaanse opvoeder, mediatheoreticus en cultuurcriticus, het meest bekend om zijn boek Amusing Ourselves to Death uit 1985.
Meer dan 40 jaar verbonden aan de New York University, richtte hij het Media Ecology-programma op.
Postman schreef talrijke boeken over onderwijs, media en cultuur, waaronder Teaching as a Subversive Activity en Technopoly.
Zijn werk richtte zich vaak op de impact van technologie en media op de samenleving, met name hoe deze het publieke discours en leren vormgeven.
Postman betoogde dat televisie en andere visuele media serieuze kwesties transformeerden in oppervlakkige entertainment, wat het politieke discours en onderwijs ondermijnde.
