NEW PARADIGM OF COMMUNICATION
Review
The Language That Consumes Itself: A Review of a Theory of Communicative Exhaustion
This work presents an ambitious and wide-ranging attempt to rethink the role of language in contemporary society, advancing the provocative thesis that communication has entered a new historical phase defined by the planned obsolescence of language. At its core lies a diagnosis of a civilisation saturated by speech yet deprived of meaning, where language no longer accumulates understanding but circulates in ever-accelerating cycles of production and decay. The text situates itself within a long tradition of linguistic and philosophical critique, yet it extends this tradition by integrating insights from media theory, political communication, and the sociology of knowledge into a unified conceptual framework.
