The Mechanical Bride: The Gutenberg Galaxy Understanding Media: The Folklore of Industrial Man by Marshall McLuhan Extensions of Man by Marshall by Marshall McLuhan McLuhan and Lewis H. Lapham Last week in Book Notes, we discussed Norman Mailer’s discovery in Superman Comes to the Supermarket of mediated America, that trifurcated world in which Americans live simultaneously in three realms, in three realities. One is based, more or less, in the physical world of nouns and verbs, which is to say people, other creatures, and things (objects) that either act or are acted upon. The second is a world of mental images lodged between people’s ears; and, third, and most importantly, the mediasphere. The mediascape is where the two worlds meet, filtering back and forth between each other sometimes in harmony but frequently in a dissonant clanging and clashing of competing images, of competing cultures, of competing realities. Two quick asides: First, it needs to be immediately said that Americans are not the first ever and certainly not the only 21st century denizens of multiple realities, as any glimpse of Japanese anime, Chinese Donghua, or British Cosplay Girls Facebook page will attest, but Americans first gave it full bloom with the “Hollywoodization,” the “Disneyfication” of just about anything, for when Mae West murmured, “Come up and see me some time,” she said more than she could have ever imagined.

  • Marshall Mcluhan and Northrop Frye—Two Canadian Culture Heroes ( マーシャル・マックルーハンとノースロップ・ フライ――カナダの二大文化英雄）
    書評論文 REVIEW ARTICLE Marshall McLuhan and Northrop Frye—Two Canadian Culture Heroes ( マーシャル・マックルーハンとノースロップ・ フライ――カナダの二大文化英雄） Reviewed by Shunichi Takayanagi* BOOK REVIEWED: B[ruce] W[illiam] Powe. Marshall McLuhan and Northrop Frye: Apocalypse and Alchemy. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2014. The culture hero undertakes to relate his world to reality by Herculean labors of probe and retrieval and purgation. (McLuhan, From Cliché to Archetype, 91) Is not the artist one who lives perpetually on the borderland between the code and language worlds, between technology and experience, between mechanical and organic form? (To Wilfred Watson, Oct. 8, 1959, Letters of Marshall McLuhan, 257) The development of the imagination is a continuous process of synthesis. (Frye, Fearful Symmetry, 56) The sense of probing into the distance, of fi xing the eyes on the skyline, is something that Canadian sensibility has inherited from the voyageurs . (Frye, Bush Garden, 224) * 高柳 俊一 Professor (Emeritus), Sophia University, Tokyo, Japan. 49 BOOK REVIEW 1. Introduction—Three Terms and Two Contemporary Scholars Let me start with Marshall McLuhan’s remark in The Mechanical Bride: “The artist is in modern times transformed from bohemian ‘victim’ to culture ‘hero’” (75). In cultural anthropology, the “culture hero” is a mythic fi gure, who brought a new means of life, and changed the life of his people. I take this in a wider sense of one who changed the cultural vision of a nation, and brought them to an awareness of its cultural identity. I shall make use of the following three terms to elaborate my ideas. “Apocalypse” is the revelation of what will come at the world’s end, not necessarily destruction but also the realization of the ideal city and nature.

Be assured: this is not just a rehashing of old fare dished up between new covers, but is genuinely new food for thought and meditation. This study began when the publisher asked my father to consider revising Understanding Media for a second edition. When he decided to start on a book, my father began by setting up some file folders - a dozen or two - and popping notes into them as fast as observations or discoveries, large or small, occurred to him. Often the notes would be on backs of envelopes or on scraps of paper and in his own special shorthand, sometimes a written or dictated paragraph or two, sometimes an advertisement or press clipping, sometimes just a passage, photocopied from a book, with notes in the margin, or even a copy of a letter just sent off to someone, for he would frequently use the letter as a conversational opportunity to develop or 'talk out' an idea in the hope that his correspon• dent would fire back some further ideas or criticism.

  • An Exploration of Promotional Culture As Contemporary Mythology
    Automotive Apotheosis: An Exploration of Promotional Culture as Contemporary Mythology Kateryna Kurdyuk Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Media and Communications (by Thesis Only) March 2011 School of Culture and Communication University of Melbourne © Kateryna Kurdyuk 2011 Abstract This thesis proposes that contemporary promotional culture is the mythology of today. This hypothesis was first put forth by Marshall McLuhan in his 1951 book, The Mechanical Bride: Folklore of Industrial Man, where he astutely observed that myth and poetry have been effectively colonized by promotional culture. Although it has been mainly overlooked by the academic community, this book is a cornerstone of the field of popular culture and mass media. In it, McLuhan was one of the first scholars to detect that folklore of industrial society is determined, not by education or religion, but by the mass media (McLuhan 1951). Over the decades, many scholars from various academic fields have observed the same trends, concluding that the myth-making faculty is thriving in contemporary society, and situating the strongest mythopoeic forces in worlds of entertainment and promotional culture. Nevertheless, these notions have not been sufficiently explored. Hence, in order to uncover the prevalent myth and poetry operating in contemporary society we must turn to promotional culture, and particularly to advertising, which McLuhan believes is as equivalent to collective society as dreams are to the individual (McLuhan 1951, p. 97). Myth is defined in this work as a universal narrative that reflects humanity’s collective unconscious projections and contains primordial forms, or archetypes. This thesis argues that advertising is mythopoeic and utilizes primordial archetypes.

  • Comparing the Early and Late Mcluhan to Innis's Political Discourse
    COMPARING THE EARLY AND LATE MCLUHAN TO INNIS'S POLITICAL DISCOURSE By James P. Winter and Irving Goldman University of Windsor Marshall McLuhan frequently is referred to, and evaluated as, a disciple of Harold Innis. Certainly McLuhan and Innis were involved in a mutual exchange of ideas in the late 1940s and up until the latter's death in 1952. They put each other's works on their students' reading lists. But while McLuhan did rely extensively on Innis's work, there are two important caveats to be drawn as we set about our own comparison to add to the growing literature. First, there were many other influences on McLuhan besides Innis, including Wyndham Lewis, James Joyce, Edmund Carpenter, E.A. Havelock, etc. As such, it would be wise not to overstress the role of Innis in McLuhan's thought generally. Secondly, one would be remiss in inferring that McLuhan may be evaluated simply in terms of whether, or how well, he popularized some aspect of Innis's thought. There is much more to McLuhan than this, for as his student and critic has noted, McLuhan is a fundamental Twentieth Century writer who has contributed "to our understanding of communication, culture and technology in the contemporary world." (Theall, 1988:97). With these qualifications at the outset, we intend to elaborate crucial ideas of Innis, comparing and contrasting those of McLuhan. This in itself is a major undertaking, owing to the major controversies swirling around just what it is that these two men were talking about. To begin with Innis, there are numerous levels or dimensions from which his writings may be approached.

The modern mind, whether in its subconscious collective dream or in its intellectual citadel of vivid awareness, is a stage on which is contained and re-enacted the entire experience of the human race. Like his later book The Gutenberg Galaxy , The Mechanical Bride is unique and composed of a number of short essays that can be read in any order — what he styled the "mosaic approach" to writing a book.

When I read this book I was working in the advertising industry as a young art director. The net result of the cult of literary violence, supported as it is by other media and excitements, has been to reduce the reading public to a common level of undiscriminating helplessness" The nihilist "is born now, of the violent meeting and woundings which occur when different cultures converge. No thank you, we are fine thanks and McLuhan prints a really old advertisement then gives his opinions on it on the same or opposite page. Sep 08, J L rated it it was amazing. Mechanical Bride indeed! The ads are hideous, the opinions trite, and the book worthless.

  • Mcluhan's Unconscious
    McLuhan’s Unconscious Alice Rae Doctoral Dissertation School of History and Politics, University of Adelaide May 2008 I dedicate this thesis to my grandparents – Alma, Dick (in memoriam); Jim (in memoriam), Doris (in memoriam) – and to Paul Nursey-Bray. ii Table of Contents Abstract iv Declaration v Acknowledgements vi Key to References vii Introduction 1 1 McLuhan and Freud 22 2 The Unconscious as Acoustic Space 48 3 Dynamics of the (Collective) Unconscious 96 4 The Economic Principle in the Logos 140 5 McLuhan and Lacan 208 Conclusion 243 References 252 iii Abstract The proof set forward in this thesis is that the method of Marshall McLuhan (1911- 1980), which he came in the 1970’s to describe as ‘structuralist’, ‘phenomenological’ and even ‘metaphysical’, owes a heretofore unacknowledged debt to Sigmund Freud (1856-1939). Critics have thus far neglected the influence of nineteenth and twentieth century psychology in McLuhan’s work, although a wealth of biographical material supports the argument that McLuhan’s ‘metaphysical’ method is derived as much from psychoanalysis and analytical psychology (C.G. Jung) as from any of McLuhan’s acknowledged predecessors. Returning to the texts from which McLuhan gained his knowledge of psychology, I trace the influence of Freud, Jung and their disciples upon McLuhan, establishing McLuhan’s use of Freudian concepts and terminology in his first book The Mechanical Bride (1951), and his use of the psychoanalytic concepts of the ‘unconscious’, ‘trauma’ and ‘repression’ in the books that came after it. What McLuhan calls the ‘unconscious’ is more often named by him as Logos, ‘acoustic space’ or the ‘media environment’, and I trace the debts that these concepts owe not only to Freud and Jung but to Aristotle, St.
