Subject: CFP: "Extensions: Marshall McLuhan at the Edge of the Gutenberg Galaxy" (12/31/02)


Please forward to potentially interested parties:

Original essays are invited for a collection tentatively entitled 
"Extensions: Marshall McLuhan at the Edge of the Gutenberg Galaxy." The 
purpose of this book is to reevaluate the contributions made by Marshall 
McLuhan to the field of Media and Popular Culture Studies. Ideally this 
collection will be a comprehensive introductory textbook for the study 
of mediated culture and will be suitable for use at both undergraduate 
and graduate levels. 

Possible topics include historical interrogations of McLuhan's 
contribution to the field of popular culture studies and media theory, 
assessments of his effects on contemporary scholarship, and debates over 
the practical and political implications of McLuhan's work. Other papers 
might focus on the inflections given to McLuhan's work in light of 
recent developments in media and technology, or discussions of McLuhan's 
theories in the context of "developing" nations. More general essays 
might contextualize McLuhan's work in light of the academic and cultural 
events of his day. 

Studies of Gender, Race and Ethnicity, Class, Sexuality, Technology and 
any number of methodological approaches are appropriate and not limited 
to: Performance Studies, Phenomenology, Film Studies, Sociology, 
Literary Analysis, Anthropology, Ethnography, Post-colonial Studies, 
Culture Studies, Historical Analysis, Psychology, Folklore, etc.

15-25 pages in length) to:
