Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Film und Fernsehen, Note: 1,0, Universität zu Köln (Institut für Theater- Film- und Fernsehwissenschaften), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Nach dem Abschmelzen der Polkappen ist die Welt im Chaos versunken. Nur ein Teil der Welt war im Stande dem Chaos Einhalt zu gebieten und entwickelt sich seit her zu einer Gesellschaft, in der die Technik meist in Form von Robotern überlebensnotwendig geworden ist. Für nahezu jede Arbeit, die zuvor der Mensch erledigt hatte, werden nun Roboter eingesetzt. Vom Menschen immer weiter verbessert, schaffen diese in Steven Spielbergs „A.I. Artificial Intelligence“ einen intelligenten Roboter mit Gefühlen: ein Roboter, der im Stande ist, seine Mutter zu lieben. Von seinen Träumen und Wünschen beflügelt, ein ‚echter‘ Junge zu werden, begibt sich der elfjährige Roboterjunge David, nachdem er von seinen ‚Adoptiveltern‘ verstoßen wurde, auf eine zweitausendjährige Reise. Am Ende muss er allerdings feststellen, dass er niemals ein ‚echter‘ Menschenjunge werden kann. Zweitausend Jahre nach seinem Bau existieren die Menschen nicht mehr. Stattdessen bevölkern hochentwickelte ‚Wesen‘, die mit dem Menschen nichts mehr gemeinsam haben zu scheinen, die Erde. In der vorliegenden Arbeit ist davon auszugehen, dass diese hochentwickelten ‚Wesen‘ keine außerirdischen Lebensformen sind, sondern technische Ausweitungen des Menschen, die wir im Folgenden posthumane Roboter nennen wollen. Dieser Ansicht nach, gilt es zu belegen, dass in Steven Spielbergs „A.I. – Artificial Intelligence“ die Amputation im Sinne Marshall McLuhans so weitgeführt wird, dass der Mensch im elektronischen Zeitalter verschwindet. Um dies nachzuweisen ist es notwendig, zunächst McLuhans Amputationsthese im elektronischen Zeitalter zu erläutern, um anschließend Analogieschlüsse zum Film ziehen zu können. Es sollte deutlich werden, dass sich McLuhans Gedanken im Film wiederspiegeln, indem Parallelen zwischen ihm und dem Filminhalt aufgezeigt werden. Diese Arbeit wird sich dabei auf die Aspekte konzentrieren, die im Film und in der Theorie Marshall McLuhans gleichermaßen angesprochen werden.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gutenberg Galaxy catapulted Marshall McLuhan to fame as a media theorist and, in time, a new media prognosticator. Fifty years after its initial publication, this landmark text is more significant than ever before. Readers will be amazed by McLuhan’s prescience, unmatched by anyone since, predicting as he did the dramatic technological innovations that have fundamentally changed how we communicate. The Gutenberg Galaxy foresaw the networked, compressed ‘global village’ that would emerge in the late-twentieth and twenty-first centuries — despite having been written when black-and-white television was ubiquitous. This new edition of The Gutenberg Galaxy celebrates both the centennial of McLuhan’s birth and the fifty-year anniversary of the book’s publication. A new interior design updates The Gutenberg Galaxy for twenty-first-century readers, while honouring the innovative, avant-garde spirit of the original. This edition also includes new introductory essays that illuminate McLuhan’s lasting effect on a variety of scholarly fields and popular culture. A must-read for those who inhabit today’s global village, The Gutenberg Galaxy is an indispensable road map for our evolving communication landscape.

Book excerpt: Marshall McLuhan died on the last day of 1980, on the doorstep of the personal computer revolution. Yet McLuhan's ideas anticipated a world of media in motion, and its impact on our lives on the dawn of the new millennium. Paul Levinson examines why McLuhan's theories about media are more important to us today than when they were first written, and why the Wired generation is now turning to McLuhan's work to understand the global village in the digital age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Distant Early Warning, Alex Kitnick reveals the story of Marshall McLuhan's entanglement with the art and artists of the twentieth-century avant-garde. It is a story packed with big names: Marcel Duchamp, Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, Andy Warhol, Nam June Paik, Tom Wolfe, Harold Rosenberg, Max Kozloff, and more. Kitnick, though, is not focused on celebrity, instead he carefully forges connections between McLuhan, his theories, and the artists of his time with thorough research and superb use of McLuhan's own words. McLuhan's writings on media spread quickly and his provocations about what art should be and what artists should be responsible for fueled then current debates. McLuhan observed that artists are first to act in response to change, and he believed they should be the ones to which we entrust new media and technologies. Thus Rauschenberg's desire to connect with culture through things is met with McLuhan's faith in artists as bellwethers of the networked world. In his postscript, Kitnick overlays McLuhan's faith onto the state of contemporary and post-internet art. This final channeling of McLuhan is a swift and beautiful analysis, with a personal touch, of art's recent transgressions and what its future may hold"--

Book excerpt: Herbert Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980) received his PhD in English literature from Cambridge University and taught in the United States and Canada. He is best known, however, as the founding father of media studies. McLuhan was Director of the Center for Culture and Technology at the University of Toronto. Among his ground-breaking works on the psychic and social dimensions of communication technology are The Gutenberg Galaxy (1962); Understanding Media: the Extensions of Man (1964); and The Medium Is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects (1967). Michel Moos' premise is that Marshall McLuhan's importance derives from his achievements in rethinking the entire process of education and training itself, not with his popular fame as media guru, and he analyzes McLuhan's work from the feedback effect his vision continues to provide, rather than from the perspective of interpreting McLuhan's pronouncements on the electronic media. Moos contrasts McLuhan's thoughts with those of such thinkers as Roland Barthes, Fredric Jameson, Friedrich Kittler, Donna Haraway, and Deleuze and Guattari, and renders an updated account of the effect of the mass media on our society and ourselves. The concept "the medium is the message" is the hub around which Marshall McLuhan's explorations revolved. McLuhan's interests ranged from sixteenth-century literature to twentieth-century business practices. With wit and literary flair, he reported the media's influence on society and on the individual. He concluded that we could not escape being transformed by the forces that are hidden deeply within the electronic telecommunications revolution of the sixties. For McLuhan, the new mediums of film, television, and the emerging realm of the digital were the modern equivalent of Gutenberg's printing press. Essays by M. McLuhan. Edited and with a Commentary by M.A. Moos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donald Theall explores and explains the significance of the emergence of McLuhan as an important figure in North America in the development of an understanding of culture, communication, and technology. He reveals important information about McLuhan and his relationships with his earliest collaborator and life-long friend, anthropologist Edmund Carpenter, as well as with Theall himself, McLuhan's first doctoral student. McLuhan emerges as a complex human being, at once attractive, witty, egotistic, and exasperating. Theall examines McLuhan's many roles - proponent of a poetic method; pop guru adopted by Tom Wolfe, Woody Allen and others; North American precursor of French theory (Baudrillard, Barthes, Derrida, Deleuze); artist; and shaman. Complex and intellectual, neither uncritical adulation nor demonization, The Virtual Marshall McLuhan does justice to a unique figure caught in a struggle between tradition and modernity, between faith and anarchy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Called an 'oracle' and 'sage', the involuntary founder of an unofficial cult, Marshall McLuhan (1911-80) was one of the most famous men of the 1960s, from whose name a French word (mcluhanisme) was coined. His reputation as a communications theoriest was established by two of many books. TheGutenberg Galaxy: The Making of Typographic Man (1962) explains how society and human psychology were changed when pre-literate oral culture was supplanted by the invention of the phonetic alphabet and a manuscript culture gave way to the Gutenberg era of movable type, the printing press, andmass-produced books. Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man (1964), McLuhan's most widely read book, explores the next development, the electronic age, and its effects on individuals and society.The early letters in this collection offer a fascinating background to McLuhan's intellectual growth; the bulk of them, however, contain many interesting discussions of ideas that later became subjects in his books. His correspondents include some of the best-known names of the sixties andseventies and range from Woody Allen to Tom Wolfe. Heavily annotated, the letters are arranged in three sections, each with a period introduction:1931-1936 takes McLuhan through the University of Manitoba and Cambridge University.1936-1946 covers one year's teaching at the Univeristy of Wisconsin; two years at Saint Louis University; one year, with his bride, at Cambridge for work on his Ph.D.; four more years at Saint Louis; and two years as Assuption College, Windsor, Ontario. These letters include a large correspondencewith Wyndham Lewis.The last section begins in 1946, when McLuhan went to the University of Toronto. (Two years later he began a long correspondence with Ezra Pound.) Covering the period of McLuhan's fame, it ends in September 1979 with a letter to Pierre Elliott Trudeau, written shortly before McLuhan had a strokethat rendered him speechless.These letters have been selected from a large collection, now in the Public Archives of Canada, assembled by Corinne McLuhan, McLuhan's widow, and Matie Molinaro, his literary agent.
