《娱乐至死》是对20世纪后半叶美国文化中最重大变化的探究和哀悼:印刷术时代步入没落,而电视时代蒸蒸日上;电视改变了公众话语的内容和意义;政治、宗教、教育和任何其他公共事务领域的内容,都不可避免的被电视的表达方式重新定义。电视的一般表达方式是娱乐。一切公众话语都日渐以娱乐的方式出现,并成为一种文化精神。一切文化内容都心甘情愿地成为娱乐的附庸,而且毫无怨言,甚至无声无息。 “Entertainment to Death” is a study and condolences on the most significant changes in American culture in the second half of the 20th century: the era of typography has been declining and the era of television has boomed; the television has changed the content and significance of public discourse; politics, religion and education And any other area of ​​public affairs, are inevitably redefined by the way television is presented. The general expression of television is entertainment. All public discourses are increasingly appearing in entertainment and become a cultural spirit. All cultural content is willing to become a vassal of entertainment, but also without complaint, or even silent.
