Please forward to potentially interested parties:
Original essays are invited for a collection tentatively entitled
"Extensions: Marshall McLuhan at the Edge of the Gutenberg Galaxy." The
purpose of this book is to reevaluate the contributions made by Marshall
McLuhan to the field of Media and Popular Culture Studies. Ideally this
collection will be a comprehensive introductory textbook for the study of
mediated culture and will be suitable for use at both undergraduate and
graduate levels.
Possible topics include historical interrogations of McLuhan's contribution
to the field of popular culture studies and media theory, assessments of
his effects on contemporary scholarship, and debates over the practical and
political implications of McLuhan's work. Other papers might focus on the
inflections given to McLuhan's work in light of recent developments in
media and technology, or discussions of McLuhan's theories in the context
of "developing" nations. More general essays might contextualize McLuhan's
work in light of the academic and cultural events of his day.
Studies of Gender, Race and Ethnicity, Class, Sexuality, Technology and any
number of methodological approaches are appropriate and not limited to:
Performance Studies, Phenomenology, Film Studies, Sociology, Literary
Analysis, Anthropology, Ethnography, Post-colonial Studies, Culture
Studies, Historical Analysis, Psychology, Folklore, etc.
