Abstract
The communications scholarship of the Welsh-born Cambridge academic Raymond Williams (1921–1988) sits at the intersection of the fields of communications, cultural sociology, and cultural studies. This entry moves through three phases of his career: his early radical democratic work on communications and policy; his mid-period, best known for the conceptual innovations of “mobile privatization” and “flow” but equally focused on developing “means of communication” as an alternative to McLuhan's “media”; and his related later work on communications incorporated within his Marxian “social formalist” cultural sociology.
