Announcing the second part of what's now a three-part close study of Marshall McLuhan's 1964 work 'Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man,' beginning March 20, 2021!


UMI II is now open for registration at Gray Area: https://grayarea.org/workshop/andrew-...


This course follows 'Understanding Media Intensive' which ran in the fall of 2020. This course picks up at the beginning of Part Two of Understanding Media starting with 'Chapter 8 – The Spoken Word: Flower of Evil?' and will conclude with 'Chapter 20 – The Photograph: The Brothel-without-Walls.'

Lectures will include explorations and explanations of never-before-seen author annotations, historical documents, and personal accounts. A scrapbook of materials around the publication of the book in 1964 compiled by Marshall's wife Corinne McLuhan, containing reviews and interviews, will add further context to how the book was received and provide insight into the material under discussion.

Classes will happen live every Saturday from March 20th – June 5th 2021, starting at 9:00am PST / 12:00pm EDT, and ending no later than 12:00pm PST / 3:00pm EDT.
