Explorations 8 - Wipf and Stock Publishers

Explorations: Studies In Culture And Communication, Principally Edited By Edmund Carpenter And Marshall Mcluhan, Was The First Postwar Journal To Engage Directly With The Grammars Of Mid-century Media Of Communication. Launched In Toronto In 1953, At The Very Moment That Television Made Its National Debut In Canada, Explorations Presented A Mosaic Of Approaches To Contemporary Media Culture And Became The Site In Which Mcluhan And Carpenter First Formulated Their Most Striking Insights About Media In The Electric Age. The Extraordinary Breadth Of Contributions To Explorations From Leading Thinkers Across The Arts, Humanities, Social And Natural Sciences Makes This Journal A Founding Publication In The Now Burgeoning Field Of Media Studies.
