COMM 465 - McLuhan’s Global Village
Delivery: Lecture
Prerequisites: COMM 100 or COMM 101; junior standing or consent of instructor
This seminar course examines the media of the 21st century through a media ecological lens using deep readings in two of McLuhan’s works, The Global Village and Understanding Media. Written in the latter half of the 20th century, McLuhan’s works display a prescience that makes them relevant in this digital age. Will the Internet make us a global village? Or will it fragment our societies? What does it mean to be human in this age of digital media technology? Readings in works by McLuhan scholars Paul Levinson, Robert Logan and others bring McLuhan’s ideas into the 21st century.
