Media ecology in the twenty-first century
In this address, Eric McLuhan discusses the origins and importance of taking an ecological approach to studying media. In regard to the current media environment, he argues that the West is currently experiencing a new renaissance, and a new form of nomadism. The address concludes with a call for education geared towards active intervention in the media environment
The sensus communis, synesthesia and the soul
This article is a keynote speech given in 2017 at the Media Ecology Association’s convention at St. Mary’s College. It includes the footnotes and a couple of pages that had to be cut at the last minute. The remarks are largely based on McLuhan’s recent The Sensus Communis, Synesthesia, and the Soul – An Odyssey (2016)
Role of Thunder in Finnegans Wake
The Interological Turn in Media Ecology
This dialogue foregrounds the interological nature of media ecology as a style of exploration into the human condition. Besides Marshall McLuhan, it also brings Gilles Deleuze, field theory, and the I Ching, et cetera, to bear on media ecological inquiry. The idea is to reveal a pattern instead of defining a term
The Interological Turn in Media Ecology
Media Ecology: Illuminations
This dialogue is an exercise in probing, which is the modus operandi of McLuhanism. After articulating the rationale behind the practice, the interlocutors Eric McLuhan and Peter Zhang explored the following topics together in an agonistic mode: perception and incarnation, anti-perspectivism, proliferation as a sign of obsolescence, applied poetics, the fusion of strategy and aesthetics, the eye and the ear, music and technology, the acoustic tur…

Marshall McLuhan’s Theory of Communication The Yegg
In this paper the methodological implications arising from Marshall McLuhan's classic refrains - "I don't have A Theory of Communication" and "I don't use theories in my work" - are discussed. Absent a theory, the other way to work is by observation and investigative technique: first the evidence; then later, much later, the theory - if indeed one is necessary by then. Without a theory as a guide McLuhan was influenced by artists and poets in dev…

Concerning Media Ecology
The world, especially the West, is currently in the grip of the largest and grandest renaissance in all of human history, and the author contends that the situation should be of profound media ecological concern. Every imaginable corner of culture, arts, and sciences demonstrate evidence of the present ferment of discovery and rediscovery, rendered almost invisible by the presence and pervasiveness facilitated by electronic media. Electronic medi…
On Formal Cause
Aristotle identified four causes of natural phenomena: formal, efficient, material, and final. The efficient cause is the maker and the making process. The material cause is the matter involved (solder, bricks . . .). The final cause is the result or object itself. Formal cause, however, remains enigmatic. Long thought to be “plans” or “blueprints,” it is found to be situational or environmental cause and to operate in many fields, particularly t…
The Role of Thunder in Finnegans Wake
The study establishes the nature and aims of Finnegans Wake as Menippean satire and interprets the Wake in that light. McLuhan examines Joyce's use of language, and in particular his use of ten hundred-lettered words (thunderclaps).
