Media Ecology in the Postdigital Condition
As digital technologies become increasingly embedded and mundane, the postdigital condition challenges traditional notions of media, nature, and human experience. At the same time, the field of media ecology has long examined how communication technologies shape consciousness, culture, and society. This article brings postdigital theory and media ecology into conversation, arguing that their convergence offers a powerful lens for understanding to…
The power of language
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has not only transformed technological capabilities, but also reshaped cultural narratives, public discourse, and policy agendas. Drawing on general semantics and media ecology, this paper examines how key terms such as cognitive offloading , augmented intelligence , and co-intelligence operate as rhetorical frames that shape public understanding, ethical reasoning, and governance of AI. Using…
Critical GenAI Literacy
Critical Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) literacy cannot be reduced to a universal framework. Rather, it must be understood as a constellation of situated literacies, shaped by disciplinary perspectives, socio-political contexts, and technological affordances. This multi-authored article explores the emerging concept of critical GenAI literacy and its postdigital configurations. Fourteen authors contributed with different sections, fol…
Research-Ai
Integrating generative AI (GenAI) in higher education presents both opportunities and challenges, particularly in maintaining academic integrity. This study explores faculty communication strategies when addressing suspected GenAI misuse, analyzing responses through Gallant’s rule-based and integrity-focused frameworks. Data from a survey reveal a dominant reliance on punitive, rule-based approaches, highlighting tensions between students and ins…
What Would Aristotle Do? Navigating Generative Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education
Special Issue introduction
This short work serves an introduction for Explorations in Media Ecology ’s first special issue on artificial intelligence (AI). AI work is nothing new in the field, and the article begins by overviewing some of the conversations from the media ecology lead voices on AI, including Postman, Ong and McLuhan. After, the article attempts to guide readers to an understanding of AI through a media ecological lens, concluding that generative AI (GenAI) …
Friendship and Technology
This book explores the nature of technology – participatory media in particular – and its effects on our friendships and our fundamental sense of togetherness. Situating the notion of friendship in the modern era, the author examines the possibilities and challenges of technology on our friendships. Taking a media ecology approach to interpersonal communication, she looks at issues around phenomenology, recognition of friends as unique, hermeneut…

Explorations in the noosphere
This article works to uncover the nature of the currents of hostility that flow through various mediums in cyberspace. Drawing predominantly Ong’s work on contest and Ihde’s phenomenology of technics, the article explores how screens extend thought space and, at the same time, extend and simultaneously filter the presence of others. An additional encounter of presence, a hermeneutic presence, is a feature of our digital age and relies on our own …
Synchronic responsibility
This article is a commentary on Walter Ong’s scholarship on time consciousness, investigating the human consciousness of time as it relates to knowledge, orality and literacy. Time consciousness in the age of electronically mediated communication is both embodied and synchronic, yet vestiges of older ontologies persist rhetorically. This article outlines the clash between these ontologies and the problems that have arisen in the current age. The …
