Abstract
The communications scholarship of the Welsh-born Cambridge academic Raymond Williams (19211988) 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.
