Marshall McLuhan: UNDERSTANDING MEDIA - The Extensions of Man
Commentary by E. Moritz
We'll be exploring McLuhan in depth here ... until then ... here's the core reading list:
The
Medium is the Massage by Marshall McLuhan, et al (Paperback - June 2001) McLuhan's remarkable observation that "societies have
always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men
communicate than by the content of the communication" is undoubtedly more
relevant today than ever before. With the rise of the internet and the
explosion of the digital revolution there has never been a better time to
revisit Marshall McLuhan. Understanding
Media: The Extensions of Man by Marshall McLuhan, Lewis H. Lapham
(Introduction) (Paperback) Personally, I am reading this
book now ... it is the motivation for this page. It is the reason MM
is placed in the Prime Radiant ... So I will elaborate from here. In the
meanwhile -- I've come to realize I need to spell out more about the term
'RADIANT' - in astronomy it referes to "a point in the heavens at which
the visible parallel paths of meteors appear to meet when traced
backward" more on this too ... later ... soon?

Paperback The blurb states: 30 years after its
publication Marshall McLuhan's The Medium is the Massage remains his most
entertaining, provocative, and piquant book. With every technological and
social "advance" McLuhan's proclamation that "the media work us over
completely" becomes more evident and plain. In his words, 'so pervasive
are they in their personal, political, economic, aesthetic, psychological,
moral, ethical and social consequences that they leave no part of us
untouched, unaffected, or unaltered'.
