Of course, this is just a working draft. I'll be deleting out anything that seems like padding once I get closer to the actual writing, but these are all titles I've read or will read in preparation, even if they aren't actually cited later on in dissertation. Also, I haven't alphabetized the list yet, as you'll see.

I can not wait to see how you tie these themes together as I have been reading and thinking through several of the books you have listed here
ReplyDeleteI see that you have a good dose of McLuhan on your list, a worthy choice for creative thinking on media. I personally think that one can take his example of light as pure information - a medium without a message - and easily apply that to the Internet. The Internet as pure information, along with McLuhan's theories on media, can lead to some interesting thinking and discussions.
Anyway, the reason I'm commenting is to recommend another creative thinker from the same era as McLuhan, and that is Jacques Ellul. His book The Technological Society was published at nearly the same time as McLuhan's Understanding Media. Ellul's concern is something he calls "technique" which is, roughly, a sense of efficiency that had previously oriented machines in society that was/is now orienting humans toward machines. The human need for efficiency, and the rapid pace in which it was happening, was a concern for Ellul. In my opinion, McLuhan and Ellul together make a great pair when thinking about the rapid pace of change being seen in society through the influence of the Internet and "new media."
Best of luck!
Brent, thank you so much for the reminder re: Ellul. I've read him referenced in lots of places (perhaps especially while reading Marva Dawn), but I haven't read him directly myself. I will definitely take a look! Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteHi Clint--what an interesting list. If you have some downtime/fiction reading time, be sure to read "Feed"by MT Anderson, a young adult novel set in a dystopian future, when everyone has the internet wired directly into their brains. It gives a powerful, dark account of a world organized by consumerism, and without a moral center. Might be a good read for an older youth group, too.
ReplyDeleteLise, that's a really great tip. Mange tussen tak!
