At the Speed of Light There is Only Illumination : A Reappraisal of Marshall McLuhan Paperback / softback

Part of the Reappraisals: Canadian Writers series
Paperback / softback
Description
"At the Speed of Light There is Only Illumination" collects a dozen re-evaluative essays on Marshall McLuhan and his critical and theoretical legacy; from intellectual adventurer creating a complex architecture of ideas to cultural icon standing in line in Woody Allen's "Annie Hall".
Given McLuhan's prominent status in many academic disciplines, the contributors reflect a multi-disciplinary background.
John Moss and Linda Morra chose the essays from a gathering of McLuhan's academic devotees.
The contribution - from "McLuhan as Medium" and "McLuhan in Space" to "What McLuhan Got Wrong" and "Trouble in the Global Village" - to provide a kaleidoscope of new views.
As Moss writes of the collected essays: "Some are big and some are small, some exegetic and some confessional, some stand as major statements and others are sidelong glances; some resonate with the concerns of public discourse and others are private or privileged or impious and provocative.
Each consists of many parts, each a design on its own.
They speak to each other...they may have come together as one version of what happened."
