McLuhan malentendido: estableciendo el récord recto
Resumen
La vida y la obra de uno de los pensadores más reconocidos del siglo XX, es discutida y analizada en el siguiente ensayo. Empieza abordando temas como el estilo de escritura críptica, analizando si era un determinista tecnológico, comentando si solo era un erudito serio ni un tecnófilo, sino un crítico social. Luego surge una pregunta muy importante que habla sobre las sospechas de sus profundas convicciones católicas y como afectaron a su beca. Después ya habla sobre el origen del término de la ecología de medios, haciendo un ensayo muy interesante sobre la vida del canadiense Marshall McLuhan
Palabras clave
Estilo de escritura críptica, Determinismo tecnológico, Crítico social, Ecología de medios.
