Use this version The Wisdom of Saint Marshall, the Holy Fool In the tumult of the digital revolution, McLuhan is relevant anew. But if you think you know Marshall McLuhan, or what he stood for - think again. By Gary Wolf Where in the waste is the wisdom?" - James Joyce In 1971, Marshall McLuhan announced a new product. With chemist Ross Hall, his nephew, McLuhan patented a formula for the removal of urine odor from underpants. The unique advantage of McLuhan's formula, for which he registered the trademark Prohtex, was that it removed the urine odor without masking other, more interesting smells - that of perspiration, for instance. In the aural and tactile environment of preliterate man, McLuhan explained, BO had been a valuable means of communication. When electronic technology turned the world into a global village, tribal odors would make a comeback, too. This prediction has yet to come true, but if body odor has not yet made a comeback, its prophet surely has. Marshall McLuhan was born in 1911 and died in 1980. By the time of his death, he had been dismissed by respectable academicians, and he was known in the popular press as an eccentric intellectual whose day in the media spotlight had come and gone. By 1980, the transformation of human life catalyzed by television was taken for granted, and it no longer seemed interesting to ask where the electronic media were taking us. But in recent years, the explosion of new media - particularly the Web - has caused new anxieties. Or to put a more McLuhanesque spin on it, the advent of new digital media has brought the conditions of the old technologies into sharper relief, and made us suddenly conscious of our media environment. In the confusion of the digital revolution, McLuhan is relevant again.

MCLUHAN, MARSHALL Canadian Media Theorist Marshall McLuhan is perhaps one of the best known media theorists and critics of this era. A literary scholar from Canada, Marshall McLuhan became entrenched in American popular culture when he felt this was the only way to understand his students at the University of Wisconsin. Until the publication of his best known and most popular works, The Gutenberg Galaxy: the Making of Typographic Man (1962) and Understanding Media: the Extensions of Man (1964), McLuhan lead a very ordinary academic life. His polemic prose (a style frequently compared to James Joyce) irritated many and inspired some. However cryptic, McLuhan's outspoken and often outrageous philosophies of the "electric media" roused a popular discourse about the mass media, society and culture. The pop culture mottoes "the medium is the message (and the massage)" and "the global village" are remnants of what is affectionately (and otherwise) known as McLuhanism. McLuhan first began to grapple with the relationship between technology and culture in The Mechanical Bride: Folklore of Industrial Man (1951). However, he did not elaborate upon their historical origins until the publication of

O Danny Blog Entries Does Marshall McLuhan Still Matter? As part of my winter break reading list , I've been trying to plow through Essential McLuhan by Marshall McLuhan because for a while now I thought I was missing out on some crucial piece of my education in media theory, some lost piece about the medium I'm working in. As it turns out, not so much. While still an interesting read and while some of the concepts, namely "The Medium is The Message" which the internet makes perfectly obvious day after day, are still sound, a lot of these writings seem hopelessly dated and almost laughably irrelevant now, 40 years later. Saying that, for instance, radio is Hot (demanding the use of a single sense) while TV is Cool (requires more participation) seems, if not obvious, then at least non-helpful as a model in the age of satellite radio and TV like Lost. And the internet? Well, it pretty much blows the Hot/Cool thing to hell. It's Hot and Cool, often at the same time, and as far as I can tell, the Hot/Cool model doesn't much help us understand the medium (or its message) any better. His simplistic take on the electronic world seems quaint now, almost Victorian in its language, filled with bad puns and quotes from Shakespeare and Joyce to prove his points. He's not a fan of television and god knows what he would make of the web. He saw electronic media as the end of civilization and of the printed word. Satan is a great electrical engineer

25. McLuhan Reconsidered -- Jim Andrews An examination of some of the ideas of marshall mcluhan, the seminal media/technology analyst of the sixties and seventies. http://vispo.com/writings/essays/mcluhana.htm

McLuhan Reconsidered by Jim Andrews Table Of Contents A technologically determinist vision of history? Technologies as extensions of ourselves Orality and Literacy The scale and form of human association PART II Money as a technology McLuhan's Humanism Footnotes Web Links to McLuhan Does the drop of metal shine like a syllable in my song? Pablo Neruda The Book of Questions A technologically determinist vision of history? M arshall McLuhan's lasting contribution is his vision of the ways in which history and culture and individuals are modified and, to some extent, determined by technology. His work will continue to be discussed and debated, dismissed and praised because of the ongoing need to consider not just the influence of technology upon society but also upon individuals and their habitual modes of perception. Consider a characterisation by James J. O'Donnell of the work of McLuhan and some of his colleagues: "...those who offer technologically determinist analyses of the history of western culturesthe Havelocks, Ongs, McLuhans, and their followersremain marginalized.... The determinists see culture as a series of behaviours determined by the powers and limits of each generation's "hardware", that is, the technologies of communication..." There is only one McLuhan, one Havelock, one Ong: the audience O'Donnell had in mind seems to have occasioned this remark from him, for he is otherwise open to the arguments of the so-called "determinists." Is he accurate in saying that McLuhan "offers a technologically determinist analysis of the history of western cultures"? The short answer is that McLuhan was concerned with exploring the ways in which culture and history are determined by technology, not the ways in which they aren't; he may have overstated his case, but has posed interesting questions.

26. Basic Mc Luhan: Marshall McLuhan And The Senses mcluhan makes a profound distinction between percept and concept, assigning their difference to human sensation. (article) http://www.gingkopress.com/_cata/_mclu/_senses.htm

Or by email: books@gingkopress.com Language is a Sense, Like Touch McLuhan makes a profound distinction between percept and concept Perception is mercurial, comes out of nowhere suddenly. It is instantaneous, boundless, and involving. Conceptualization is static, repetitive, detached, and self-enveloping. Inside the system, we are unaware of their blinding properties. Percept advances and recedes like a gestalt, with a foreground and background, attuned to depth. Concept traps meaning by concentrating only on the surface, the foreground, while substituting itself for the missing ground. Concept preempts the gestalt. It is an invisible arbiter of all things in the absence of true ground. As a kind of bogus background that fixes everything in an illusory pseudo-context, concept ultimately tricks the perceiver out of his senses. The 'play' in figure and ground is McLuhan's strategy for reversing the order of premise and conclusion, cause and effect, content and medium. We go from effect to cause, and not the other way around, by proceeding from a preconceived notion (conclusion), to get to a premise that is embedded, putting the cart before the horse. We concoct a premise from preconceptions. Likewise effects often precede causes because they have created the conditions for a new situation well in advance of the so-called causes, which are in fact a result of a long but undetected process. When we perceive something we

What is the Meaning of The Medium is the Message? by Mark Federman Chief Strategist McLuhan Program in Culture and Technology "In a culture like ours, long accustomed to splitting and dividing all things as a means of control, it is sometimes a bit of a shock to be reminded that, in operational and practical fact, the medium is the message. This is merely to say that the personal and social consequences of any medium - that is, of any extension of ourselves - result from the new scale that is introduced into our affairs by each extension of ourselves, or by any new technology." (McLuhan 7) Thus begins the classic work of Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media , in which he introduced the world to his enigmatic paradox, " The medium is the message. " But what does it mean? How can the medium be its own message? Marshall McLuhan was concerned with the observation that we tend to focus on the obvious. In doing so, we largely miss the structural changes in our affairs that are introduced subtly, or over long periods of time. Whenever we create a new innovation - be it an invention or a new idea - many of its properties are fairly obvious to us. We generally know what it will nominally do, or at least what it is intended to do, and what it might replace. We often know what its advantages and disadvantages might be. But it is also often the case that, after a long period of time and experience with the new innovation, we look backward and realize that there were some effects of which we were entirely unaware at the outset. We sometimes call these effects "unintended consequences," although "unanticipated consequences" might be a more accurate description.

Quotes about him Resource downloads Links Herbert Marshall McLuhan in his library McLuhan close-ups with those who knew him Derrick de Kerckhove "He predicted the Wikipedia as well! We become "encyclopedic" in the electronic age." Gathering with fellows, December 26, 2007 The actual McLuhan quote: "The next medium, whatever it is - it may be the extension of consciousness - will include television as its content, not as its environment, and will transform television into an art form. A computer as a research and communication instrument could enhance retrieval, obsolesce mass library organization, retrieve the individual's encyclopedic function and flip into a private line to speedily tailored data of a saleable kind (Marshall McLuhan 1962)." - emphasis ours "He was a thinker who focused on the world. He thought about the world the way a great thinker does. His thinking was extremely original, not inductive or deductive. He was constantly discovering, as if feeling the shapes of knowledge with his hands. It's as if he was thinking not with his head but with all his senses... I'd say he did not deduce things, he perceived directly, like an artist. This is the best way to put it - he was an artist who worked with thinking as his material." when asked about his favourite McLuhan quote "Always the same one, "In the electronic age we wear all mankind as our skin," - not bad... It shows everyone's inteconnection. Everywhere we are in touch through our skin. We are all as interdependent as the cells in our body - with the same harmony."

Subscribe to Newsletters Marshall McLuhan vs. Marshalling Regular Expressions by Andy Oram analysis or dissection but merely to reaction . We no longer preserve the neat perspective that distinguishes figure from ground; we have only a field of impressions. McLuhan's books struck the public in the 1960s (a time when figure and ground switched places for many) with the projective force he had assigned to print media. This explosion was followed by an implosion driven by the iconic force of the electronic age. His ideas gained currency through television appearances, jokes, a scene in Woody Allen's movie Annie Hall , and not least the conscious homage paid to his ideas by the advertising industry. If you missed McLuhan's ideas going out, don't worryyou certainly received them coming back in. Recently, I began to research and re-evaluate McLuhan. The impetus was a surprise I had not known how to deal with for several years: the success of a book called Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey Friedl. Now that Friedl has just finished with writing, and I with editing, a second edition, this is a good historical moment to integrate the phenomenon into our understanding of the role computer processing plays in social development.

James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture The Medium is the Message " simply means that the content - though playing a role - is not the message, but the medium, which contains that content, is the message. For example, it is not the television (TV) commercial that is the message, but the fact that this type of commercial is only available on TV and cannot exist - in the way it does - without the medium of TV. This preordained shape is the message, rather than the commercial being the message. McLuhan also devised the theory of every medium being either hot - high definition and non-participatory mediums such as radio or film - or cool - participatory mediums such as TV and the Internet. McLuhan also said that new mediums are derived from the existing ones. TV evolved from radio. The Internet is born of TV. essay "If the work of the city is the remaking or translating of man into a more suitable form than his nomadic ancestors achieved, then might not our current translation of our entire lives into the spiritual form of information seem to make of the entire globe, and of the human family, a single consciousness?

Wednesday, August 30, 2006 How to choose a novel From an excerpt from John Sutherland's How to Read a Novel: A User's Guide For the reader of novels the question is: where to start? Is there any point in starting, or shaping one's reading experiences? How can one organise a curriculum? Ours is not, like the 1940s, an age of austerity: it is not money - expensive as new hardback novels, quite irrationally, seem - but time that is in short supply. How, then, to find the novels that you do have the time to invest in? As the science-fiction writer Theodore Sturgeon (the original for Kurt Vonnegut's Kilgore Trout) observed: "Ninety per cent of science fiction is crap. But 90 per cent of everything is crap." How can we identify the 10 per cent, or less, of fiction available that is not crap? Sutherland says to not judge a book by its cover. Dust jackets, blurbs, shoutlines, critics' commendations ("quote whores", as they are called in the video/DVD business) all jostle for the browser's attention. But I recommend ignoring the hucksters' shouts and applying instead the McLuhan test.
