Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:Though he was once proclaimed 'the oracle of the electronic age,' perhaps the world was not quite ready for Marshall McLuhan when he came to prominence in the 1960s.

Understanding Media is one of McLuhan's most popular books, offering some of his more pungent and provocative insights on our need to adapt from a relatively slow, fragmented mechanical age to a high-speed, highly integrated electronic ... |

The Medium is the Massage»rank: 67443par: Marshall McLuhan, Quentin Fiore
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:The medium used to be the message. But in the 'collide-oscopic' barrage of image and text that resulted from Marshall McLuhan's 1967 collaboration with graphic designer Quentin Fiore, the medium becomes the massage.

The Global Village: Transformations in World Life and Media in the 21st Century»rank: 76961par: Marshall McLuhan, Bruce R. Powers
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:'Culturally, what is happening now is titanic,' Marshall McLuhan's collaborator, Bruce R. Powers, writes in the preface to The Global Village. Whether Powers means to suggest that we are all aboard a sinking ship is open to question. And even if we do register the apocalyptic allusion in Power's phrase, it helps to remember that an apocalypse isn't just a catastrophe; it's also a revelation. The Global Village is McLuhan's most theoretical and systematic attempt to present his insights on the changes wrought by late-20th-century technological advancements. Though ... |
