Jürgen Habermas on Communication Media - Dictionary of Arguments
III 458 Communication Media/Sociology/Action Theory/Communicative Action/Habermas: the liberation of communicative action from tradition-based institutions - i.e. from consensus commitments - leads to the replacement of institutions by organisations of a new type: they are formed on the basis of communication media that uncouple action from communication processes and coordinate them via generalised instrumental values such as money and power.(1) >Media, >Institutions, >Society. These control media replace language as a mechanism for coordinating action and move social action away from integration that goes via a consensus of values and convert it to a media-controlled procedural rationalization. >Social action, >Language/Habermas. HabermasVsWeber: he does not recognize money and power as the communication media that enable the differentiation of subsystems of procedural rational action. >M. Weber, >Procedural Rationality/Weber. IV 269 Communication Media/Habermas: In the course of differentiating between understanding and success-oriented action, two types of relief mechanisms are formed, namely in the form of communication media. IV 270 Which either bundle or replace verbal communication. >Agreement/Habermas. For example, reputation and power are primitive generators of readiness to follow (either rationally through trust in valid knowledge or empirically through incentive through expected reward). They are the starting point for media education. >Recognition >Power. The communication media can be generalized themselves and thus form control media. IV 387 Communication media/system theory/Habermas: the structural characteristics of a medium only become apparent to the extent that they are normatively anchored and enable the differentiation of a social subsystem. >Communication Media/Parsons. 1. ((s) See N. Luhmann's systems theory, in which money, power, truth, etc. are understood as symbolically generalized communication media. See in particular C. Baraldi, G. Corsi, E.
