'On systematically distorted communication' is the title of a 1970 article by German Philosopher and critical theorist Jurgen Habermas.


Exposition

Nick Crossley argues that Bourdieu’s work 'offers an important framework or problematic' in which 'we can realise, both empirically and theoretically, an analysis of ‘systematically distorted communication’, such as was deemed central to critical theory by Habermas[1] in his earlier work.'[2]
