Mark Poster (born 6 July 1941) is a Professor Emeritus of History, Film and Media Studies, and the Critical Theory Emphasis at UC Irvine. He received his Ph.D. from New York University in 1968, and his research interests include European Intellectual and Cultural History,[1] Existentialism, Marxism, Critical Theory, and Media Studies.

He is known for surveying the work of Lefebvre, Sartre and Foucault. He applies the ideas of these and other French theorists (including Baudrillard, Althusser, Baudrillard, Deleuze and Derrida) to digital new media of the late Twentieth and early Twenty-first century (including television, databases, hypertext and the Internet).

He seeks to politicize the issue of the use and development of the Internet by emphasizing the possibilities of the Internet for liberatory political change, while acknowledging the existence of a deep digital divide, as well as the interests of transnational corporations and national governments.[2]
