Unthinking Modernity: Innis, McLuhan, and the Frankfurt School

Unthinking Modernity: Innis, McLuhan, and the Frankfurt School by Judith Stamps
English | Feb. 1, 1995 | ISBN: 0773512322 | 205 Pages | PDF | 12.42 MB

This comparison of European and Canadian political thought, reinterprets the communications theory of Harold Innis and Marshall McLuhan as a Canadian variant of the critical theory associated with the early Frankfurt school. Stamps argues that Innis and McLuhan worked towards a theory of how westerners have developed classifications through which they perceive the world. Moreover, he shows that they used insights derived from their North American experience to add a new media-based perspective to such a theory.
