McLuhan in Space: A Cultural Geography
Search in google:
Demonstrates how McLuhan extended insights derived from advances in physics and artistic experimentation into a theory of acoustic space which he then used to challenge the assumptions of visual space that had been produced through print culture.BooknewsSpace, says Cavell (English and Canadian studies, U. of British Columbia), constitutes the single most consistent conceptual category in the wide-ranging work of Canadian thinker Marshal McLuhan (1911- 80). He shows how the various dimensions of his thought are articulated through notions of spatial biases, sensations, and modes of production; and how space connects him to artists and theorists. He subsumes the traditional categories used to study him within an account of the development and consistency of his notion of spatial production. Annotation c.
