Unthinking Modernity: Innis, McLuhan, and the Frankfurt School
Judith Stamps
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.
