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.

  • UNDERSTANDING MCLUHAN: the TIMES and RELEVANCE Asif Khan Sr
    International Journal of Knowledge Management and Practices 8 (1) 2020, 41-44 http://publishingindia.com/ijkmp/ UNDERSTANDING MCLUHAN: THE TIMES AND RELEVANCE Asif Khan Sr. Assistant Professor, Department of Convergent Journalism, School of Media Studies, Central University of Kashmir, Jammu & Kashmir, India. Email: [email protected] Abstract Marshall Herbert McLuhan (1911–1980) was a Canadian writer and communication expert. He was quite famous for a lot of quotes and aphorisms, and, in 1960s, was celebrated for his catchphrase “the medium is the message.”McLuhan’s reasoning about the medium that the information it carries or disseminates can influence or control society was much debated, discussed and criticised as well. His work is referred to be the cornerstone of media theory and his term “global village” lived its fame and is still transcending. This paper attempts to study the relevance and influence of McLuhan’s philosophy and tries to correlate the significance of his various aphorisms, i.e., the terms he used. His contribution as a theorist and media/communication expert as well as an influential advocate of media determinism, remains ever persuasive. Essentially, his key concepts provide a revised outlook as proven by the time and technology we see today. Nothing truly could push him aside and this outwardly pop-cult-scientist-cum-metaphysician seems ever accurate and relevant in the times we live in. Keywords: Communication, Medium, Message, Hot Media, Cold Media, Technological Determinism, Global Village Introduction interplay of people and events, the development of forms, the multileveled interrelationships between and In 1950s, no one could have imagined the future of science among such arbitrarily segregated subjects as biology, and technology, as it is vivid today.

  • The Market at the End of History: Literary Structuralism and Canadian Infrastructural
    The Market at the End of History: Literary Structuralism and Canadian Infrastructural Aesthetics By Adam Carlson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Department of English and Film Studies, University of Alberta © Adam Carlson, 2020 ii Abstract Two well-worn ideas were resurrected in the months leading up the 2019 federal election: the first was the resurgence of what‘s been called ―Western alienation.‖ The second was imagined as a means by which such alienation and regional division would be both literally and metaphorically fixed—what Andrew Scheer called ―a national energy corridor.‖ Scheer identified Canada‘s national purpose with the exploitation of resources the corridor would make possible: ―Often we say that the world needs more Canadian energy; I believe that‘s true, but I believe Canada needs more Canadian energy, and we will work to make sure that is a reality.‖1 My dissertation examines the origins and trajectories of both ideas, looking first at the historical and material roots of Western alienation as it pertains to both resource development and to the alienation of—the transportation and selling off of—resources outside of the national space. I analyze Western organic intellectual production to foreground how the form of value characteristic of Canada‘s extractive staples economy structures political claims and infrastructure alike. In Part One, I look at the work of the so-called Calgary School of political science, the academic-/activist-/think-tank-ideologues who engineered the rise of both the Reform Party and of Stephen Harper, and who have helped to steer the way Canadian politics have been understood and performed for the last several decades.

Through an interventionist approach seeking to push McLuhanism beyond its very limits, the article is concerned with a certain dimension of its conceptual body which cannot be accommodated by its own parameters.

  • An Academic Obituary of Eric Mcluhan
    philosophies Obituary An Academic Obituary of Eric McLuhan Robert K. Logan ID Department of Physics, University of Toronto, 60 St. George, Toronto, ON M5S 1A7, Canada; [email protected] Received: 12 June 2018; Accepted: 12 June 2018; Published: 13 June 2018 B.Sc.—Communications, Wisconsin State University, 1972 M.A., Ph.D.—English Lit., University of Dallas, 1980, 1982 Eric McLuhan, a Canadian scholar, public intellectual and a much sought-after speaker, was born on 19 January 1942 and passed away on 18 May 2018 in Bogota, Columbia, the day after he gave a commencement address at the Universidad de la Sabana. A funeral was held in Bogata on 19 May and a memorial mass was held at St. Gregory the Great, Roman Catholic Church, Picton, Ontario on 25 May. Eric will be deeply missed by his wife Sabina, and his three children Emily, Anna and Andrew. He will also be missed by the entire media ecology community that was inspired by his deep insights into the effects of media. Eric was a prolific writer having written 18 books and over 100 articles. He was a close collaborator of (his father) Marshall McLuhan. His accomplishments as a scholar were manifold, but here I concentrate on four of them: • First, there was the collaboration with his father including his co-authorship with Marshall McLuhan and Kathryn Hutchon (later Kawasaki) of City as Classroom. • Secondly, there was the way he rescued the work of his father after Marshall’s passing in 1980. He did this by mining the archives of his father’s papers and co-authoring with his father (posthumously) the following four books: • Laws of Media: The New Science • The Lost Tetrads of Marshall McLuhan • Media and Formal Cause • Theories of Communication.

    0 ***FRIDAY*** Registration (1:00 pm – 5:00 pm) Registration Lobby Session F PM1 (2:00 pm - 3:15 pm) Technology Integration in the Classroom: Pedagogical East Room 1 Challenges and Opportunities Educators recognize that technology in the classroom distracts and disrupts productive thinking. Yet, as educators in the field of communication it is essential that our students know how to engage, utilize, and communicate with that very same distracting technology. Media literacy is a necessity for today’s student. Gunther Kress clearly articulates the complexity that exists at the intersection of media, technology and critical thinking, “The range and forms of available information are changing with the advent of new digital literacies, but we need to be aware that these are not replacing other literacies. Rather they are overlaying them and increasing the complexity of what can and must be learned with the demands of multi-layered meanings and more complex semiotic systems (2003.) Panelists will discuss the pedagogical challenges and opportunities for technology integration in the classroom. Topics to be addressed include: course lessons, technology tools, and curriculum outcomes or goals that use technology in the classroom to foster critical thinking, ignite students’ imagination, mindfulness and thoughtfulness in the classroom through the use of technology in the classroom.
