clogic-192696	Szeman, Imre	Regis Debray's MEDIA MANIFESTOS	2020	11	.pdf	application/pdf	5417	240	52	It is simply that Debray overstates the limits of these fields, as well as the unique quality of the practice that he refers to as mediology, which he seems to see as the first to ever undertake questions of signification and communication from a materialist (though not Marxist) perspective. Pierre Bourdieu's off-handed dismissal of mediology in On Television is perhaps not entirely without merit (50); one has the sense, especially of a practice eagerly reported on in Wired,1 of a kind of strategic re-packing of concepts to be sold with the aid of a shiny new moniker--as if to suggest that Debray has finally succumbed to the logic of the intellectual marketplace that he decried earlier in his Teacher, Writers , Celebrities (1981).	cache/clogic-192696.pdf	txt/clogic-192696.txt
