From: mcz-AT-ulysses.att.com Date: Mon, 30 Jun EDT 07:34:56 -0500 Subject: Re: hello? Hi, Darren, My thesis is on Walter Ong's theory of secondary orality. Ong thinks that tv, radio, computers and other mass media enhance individual consciousness; he stands virtually alone in his opinion. Other comm. theorists, especially McLuhan, Postman, Meyrowitz, see electronic media as detrimental to individual thought and consciousness. Basically, I'm trying to defend Ong, but I've had to go outside comm. theory to find stuff. That's how I bumped into Lyotard. Mike >What's the MA thesis on? Darren.
