Marconi: The man who networked the world
Despite the importance of Marconi as a precursor to our information age, a contention well argued in this book, it is surprising how little has been written about his legacy over the past half century. This neglect is more than offset by Marc Raboy’s exhaustive and detailed study which effectively combines biographical narrative with communication history. Two fortuitous events in Marconi’s life might have led to a somewhat different account—a na…
Media ecology and the performing arts – Virtually
This keynote address highlights the author’s application of a media ecological perspective to a new mode of accessibility involving the performing arts: the transmission (often live) into cinemas around the world, of productions from the worlds of opera, theatre, ballet and the musical stage. Referred to as Digital Broadcast Cinema (DBC), the analysis presented shows how elements of theatrical liveness mediated by the conventions of film and tele…
Communication in History: Technology, Culture, Society
Updated in a new 6th edition, Communication in History reveals how media has been influential in both maintaining social order and as powerful agents of change. With revised new readings, this anthology continues to be, as one reviewer wrote, "the only book in the sea of History of Mass Communication books that introduces readers to a more expansive, intellectually enlivening study of the relationship between human history and communication histo…

Live from the Met: Digital Broadcast Cinema, Medium Theory, and Opera for the Masses
Beginning with the 2006-07 season, the New York Metropolitan Opera began broadcasting live performances into select movie theatres around the world. This article explores the phenomenon using an approach known as medium theory. It draws from the work of three analysts in that tradition who have focused on the performing and recording arts: Edmund Carpenter, John Ellis, and James Monaco. The author coins the term “digital broadcast cinema” (DBC) t…
A Man for All Media: Orson Welles as Media Ecologist/Medium Theorist
This article contends that Orson Welles’ (1915–1985) success in a variety of media results in part from his astute understanding of the audio and visual potential of these media. Parallels are drawn between his intuitive grasp of media as an artistic practitioner and the academic tradition of media ecology and medium theory. Welles’ “media sense” is seen as complemented by his skill at adaptation—the ability to alter source material in ways that …
History from the Inside: "Prolegomenon to the "Memoir of Harold Adams Innis Covering the Years 1894-1922
This essay provides an introduction to Harold Innis' autobiographical memoir covering the years 1894-1922 ( www.cjc-online.ca ). Consideration is given to sources that may have inspired him in this direction. They include the memoirs and autobiographies he cites in The Bias of Communication (1951), along with the diary-based studies of three individuals that he wrote in conjunction with his staples research in political economy: Peter Pond, Alexa…
America Under Attack 1: The War of the Worlds, Orson Welles, and 'Media Sense
This article re-examines Orson Welles' 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast. Welles' ingenious use of radio is attributed to his innate "media sense" - an ability to understand the medium he worked with in order to push it to its artistic limits. Responses to the program on the part of print media and academe are examined along with more scholarly media sense of Marshall McLuhan, who comments on the so-called Panic Broadcast in Understanding Media. T…

The Age of Structuralism: Levi-Strauss to Foucault
Structuralism began in linguistics and was enlarged by Claude Levi-Strauss into a new way of thinking that views our world as consisting of relationships between structures we create rather than of objective realities. The Age of Structuralism examines the work of seven writers who either expanded upon or reacted against Levi-Strauss. In a panoramic overview of the origins of deconstructionism and its critics, Edith Kurzweil offers a lucid and pe…

Movements Toward Understanding Humans Through the Anthropological Study of Dance [and Comments and Reply]
An attempt is made to identify the study of dance as a specialization and peripheral interest within each of the four fields of anthropology, in order to suggest how our understanding of Homo sapiens may be enhanced by dance study. The neglect, gestation, and emergence of the anthropological study of dance, its theoretical and methodological areas of consensus and disagreement, and some specific approaches and their strengths and limitations are …

Conceptual Art: Transformation of Natural and of Cultural Environments
The authors explore the possibility that the activity known as ‘conceptual art’, when evidenced in certain ways, may provide a link to the underlying structure of art. Projects of Vazan are analyzed with reference to this thesis. Art is looked at as an activity of signification (sign making) in which particular forms of conceptual art may represent ‘signifiers’ reduced to their most basic expression. The theoretical sustenance for this perspectiv…

Structuralism: An Introduction
Total Art: Environments, Happenings and Performance
Since World War II, artists have made increasing use of technological media, and, in their search for new art forms, have collaborated with filmmakers, dancers, actors, musicians, and other artists, to stage controversial, often outrageous and hilarious, seemingly spontaneous public gatherings. Happenings, first seen in New York in the early 1960s, use live performers without the logical structure of drama, in an attempt to break down the customa…
