McLuhan Studies : Premiere Issue Home Page Next Article Previous Article Table of Contents Author Index Title Index EDWIN J. BARTON ON THE EZRA POUND/ MARSHALL MCLUHAN CORRESPONDENCE The manifold appeals in The Laws of Media to literature and the structures of language, particularly the attention given to "language as a tool of investigation" in the chapter entitled "Media Poetics" (LOM 215-239), should remind us that Marshall McLuhan came to his studies of technology and media through the agency of literary and linguistic analysis. This background explains not only the accustomed recourses in his prose to certain fertile texts but also his insistence on viewing all media and/or technology as words having four-part or metaphorical structures. The question of how McLuhan arrived at this means of applying linguistic and literary analysis to the study of media is answered, in part, in his correspondence with Ezra Pound. The years during which Pound and McLuhan corresponded, 1948-57, were all but identical with the term of Pound's incarceration at St. Elizabeth's Hospital for the Criminally Insane. It is clear from his initial letter that McLuhan was primarily interested in matters of aesthetic theory and literary techniques: My friend Mr. Kenner and I are much looking forward to a visit and some talk with you about contemporary letters, and your work, in which we have long taken serious interest (31 May 1948).

Internet Contents <- Previous ^ Up ... History Marshall McLuhan Foresees The Global Village Today, after more than a century of electric technology, we have extended our central nervous system itself in a global embrace, abolishing both space and time as far as our planet is concerned. - Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media Marshall McLuhan's insights made the concept of a global village, interconnected by an electronic nervous system, part of our popular culture well before it actually happened. Marshall McLuhan was the first person to popularize the concept of a global village and to consider its social effects. His insights were revolutionary at the time, and fundamentally changed how everyone has thought about media, technology, and communications ever since. McLuhan chose the insightful phrase "global village" to highlight his observation that an electronic nervous system (the media) was rapidly integrating the planet events in one part of the world could be experienced from other parts in real-time, which is what human experience was like when we lived in small villages. McLuhan's second best known insight is summarized in the expression "the medium is the message", which means that the qualities of a medium have as much effect as the information it transmits. For example, reading a description of a scene in a newspaper has a very different effect on someone than hearing about it, or seeing a picture of it, or watching a black and white video, or watching a colour video. McLuhan was particularly fascinated by the medium of television, calling it a "cool" medium, noting its soporific effect on viewers. He took great satisfaction years later when medical studies showed that TV does in fact cause people to settle into passive brain wave patterns. One wonders what McLuhan would make of the

Born in Edmonton, Alberta, McLuhan was educated at the universities of Manitoba and Cambridge. Later he taught at various universities in the United States and Canada. McLuhan is best known for coining the phrase “the medium is the message,” which became popular in the 1960s. He argued that in each cultural era the medium in which information is recorded and transmitted is decisive in determining the character of that culture. McLuhan also believed that the linking of electronic information media would create an interconnected “global village.” As a scholar of the effects of technology on human society, McLuhan is regarded as one of the most important 20th-century communications theorists. He has, however, been criticized for subscribing to technological

January 1, 1981 Marshall McLuhan, Author, Dies; Declared 'Medium Is the Message' By ALDEN WHITMAN arshall McLuhan, the communications theorist who taught that ''the medium is the message,'' died yesterday in his sleep at his Toronto home, his family reported. He was 69 years old. ''Most people are alive in an earlier time, but you must be alive in o ur own time,'' Mr. McLuhan once said. Born in what he considered an age of information, Mr. McLuhan strove to understand and explain the electronic media, which he believed were shaping people in ways they hardly suspected. Meaning of Oft-Quoted Maxim He had a penchant for aphorisms - as well as a weakness for puns - and he summed up his views on the effects of media in the maxim ''the medium is the message.'' By this he meant that the way we acquire information affects us more than the information itself. Mr. McLuhan believed that television, for example, has a profound impact on children not because of what is on it, but because of what is in it. Its mosaic pattern of dots of light, its lack of detail, its motion and sound, and the fact that the light comes at the viewer - all these things make television-watching an aural and tactile experience as well as a visual one, he said, and far more deeply involving for a child than reading a book. As for television's content, he told Fordham University students in October 1967: ''The public has yet to see TV as TV. Broadcasters have no awareness of its potential. The movie people are just beginning to get a grasp on film.''

[read more] SIGNS ... [read more] McLuhan Light and Dark Like Innis, McLuhan’s best work focuses on the impact of communications technology on culture. In many ways, McLuhan’s work updates Empire and Communications and The Bias of Communication for an electronic age. (While Innis began an assessment of radio, he was deeply ambivalent and skeptical about its effects, since one of the most powerful models of its use in his experience was by Adolph Hitler.) McLuhan shares with Innis a bias for the oral over the written, and for many of the same reasons: the oral was more inclusive, less alienating than print; whereas oral communications fostered community and involvement, print culture fostered isolation, the distancing of perspective, and the cult of the individual. McLuhan’s commentary on the media is characterized by an irrepressible playfulness and creative manipulation of ideas. He conveys a sense of optimism in the face of confusing sensory overload. He constantly uses analogy, metaphor, and other poetic figures to communicate his ideas about the media. For McLuhan, "The artist is the person who invents the means to bridge between biological inheritance and the environments created by technological innovation" (

Marshall McLuhan - Technologically Determinist - 1964 Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980) foresaw the approaching changes in that it would bring about a new society characterized by greater connectivity and networking: Whereas in the mechanical age of fragmentation leisure had been the absence of work, or mere idleness, the reverse is true in the electrical age. As the age of information demands the simultaneous use of our faculties, we discover that we are most at leisure when we are most intensely involved, very much as with the artists in all ages - Marshall McLuhan in Understanding Media: The extensions of man In his later years, and partially as a response to his critics, McLuhan, along with his son Eric, wrote Laws of Media: The New Science (1988), in which he develops a scientific basis for his thought around what he termed the tetrad . The tetrad apples four laws for looking at our culture, framed as questions, to a wide spectrum of humankind's endeavors. He postulates that all media exhibits four types of effects: Enhancement or extend : new media provide improved performance over the old Obsolescence : new media render previous models passe Retrieval : new media contains existing elements from the cultural inventory Reversal : we tend to over do the new until we run out of benefits and into detriments Thus, four questions may be asked:

Marshall McLuhan, review of The Mechanical Bride THE MECHANICAL BRIDE: Folklore of Industrial Man By Herbert Marshall McLuhan New York Times October 21, 1951 A Touch of Humor Wouldn't Hurt By DAVID L. COHN The present book," says its author, "makes a few attempts to attack the very considerable currents and pressures set up around us today by the mechanical agencies of the press, radio, movies, and advertising." The use of large reproductions of advertisements illuminates the text and often powerfully reinforces it. Herbert McLuhan is, happily, an indignant man. He is angry at many things. They range from what he calls "The Ballet Luce"the magazines Time, Life, Fortuneto the Great Books program of the University of Chicago to Emily Post and coeducation in our schools. Other blasts are leveled at the professional mortician, Charles McCarthy, Thornton Wilder, life insurance salesmen, the New Look in masculine apparel, Momism, hosiery ads, the comic-strip and Reader's Digest. Righteous anger has its uses, but it is here often abused to the detriment of the author's thesis that we are wallowing in vulgarity and shabbiness of values. A passionate no-sayer, he is sometimes carried away by his anger. Not content, for example, with celebrating a man of whom he approves- -Al Capp and his Li'l Abnerhe sets Capp a little above Mark Twain and then applies the club to some of Capp's contemporaries. "Capp," he says, "wouldn't be seen dead with The New Yorker postulate that 'our intellectual and social standards offer a real basis for measuring the inadequacies of other sections of the community.' Arno, Nash, and Thurber are brittle, wistful little précieux beside Capp."
