Abstract

“A Sociedade Incivil” continues the reflection on culture, media and journalism started by Muniz Sodré in the early 1970s. This article discusses the main theses developed in the book, highlighting the originality of its premises and approaches. The argument does not, however, free it from criticism, accusing the lack of dialectics present in its hermeneutics of the media and the imprisonment of its analyzes in a vision of neoliberalism that has become stereotypical.
