At the Speed of Light There is Only Illumination

At the Speed of Light There is Only Illumination collects a dozen re-evaluative essays on Marshall McLuhan and his critical and theoretical legacy; from intellectual adventurer creating a complex architecture of ideas to cultural icon standing in line in Woody Allen & rsquo;s Annie Hall.

John Moss and Linda Morra chose the essays from a gathering of McLuhan & rsquo;s academic devotees. The contribution & ndash; from & ldquo;McLuhan as Medium & rdquo; and & ldquo;McLuhan in Spac.

  • "Decades after he began his intellectual adventure, and even decades after his cameo in Annie Hall, McLuhan remains a series of open questions, one of the simplest being "Was he right?" In 14 essays, contributors examine facets of McLuhan's theories and their applications by various enthusiasts and detractors. The authors make no effort to review McLuhan as whole cloth any more than did McLuhan himself, and the result is remarkably free of simple answers to the simplest question. However, they do examine such diverse issues as McLuhan's continued influence, Canadian communication thought, the rise of the legacy of modernist writers, postcolonial contexts in hybrid media, a review of spatial information, including McLuhan in space, what McLuhan got wrong, poetry about the space in which McLuhan spent his last dozen years, and a panel discussion about trouble brewing in the global village.

John Moss and Linda Morra chose the essays from a gathering of McLuhan's academic devotees. The contribution - from "McLuhan as Medium" and "McLuhan in Space" to "What McLuhan Got Wrong" and "Trouble in the Global Village"--To provide a kaleidoscope of new views. As Moss writes of the collected essays: "Some are big and some are small, some exegetic and some confessional, some stand as major statements and others are sidelong glances; some resonate with the concerns of public discourse and others are private or privileged or impious and provocative. Each consists of many parts, each a design on its own. They speak to each other ... they may have come together as one version of what happened."</div>"@en
