El escenario de la comunicación humana, basado en las interrelaciones que realizamos entre personas que manejamos un mismo código, sea este lingüístico, social o sensacional, ha transmutado en una carrera acelerada. La revolución de la... more
Resumen Introducción: En este estudio se establece un paralelismo entre el pensamiento de Marshall McLuhan, uno de los primeros en explorar el fenómeno del prosumidor, y los llamados nuevos medios. Y por la otra, se analizan dos... more
Las prácticas culturales en su conjunto están enmarcadas en y atravesadas por un contexto informacional que traza el camino por el que transita el siglo XXI. Pero ¿cuál es la entidad de este ser al que llamamos información? ¿Bajo qué... more

This article examines five common misunderstandings about case-study research: (a) theoretical knowledge is more valuable than practical knowledge; (b) one cannot generalize from a single case, therefore, the single-case study cannot... more
Accostare due figure del calibro di Elémire Zolla e Marshall McLuhan costituisce un’impresa troppo ardua da risolversi nello spa- zio di queste brevi note. Il peso di entrambi nella cultura novecentesca è difficilmente misurabile senza... more
Marshall McLuhan probed and explored the social and cultural environments created by media technologies and the modes of perception engendered in those who found themselves immersed therein. In this essay I argue that digital games... more
Le sens aigu des aphorismes et l’hermétisme de Marshall McLuhan ont probablement nui à la réception scientifique de ses travaux. Néanmoins, les écrits de l’auteur canadien continuent de susciter critiques et dithyrambes. Dans cet article,... more

Phronetic organizational research is an approach to the study of management and organizations focusing on ethics and power. It is based on a contemporary interpretation of the Aristotelian concept phronesis, usually as ‘prudence’.... more
Dzisiejszy świat bywa nazywany „kulturą atencjonalizmu”: wszyscy walczą o uwagę potencjalnych odbiorców. Kluczem do sukcesu jest emocjonująca opowieść. Dlatego wiedza na ten temat nabiera znaczenia. Ideą książki jest wprowadzenie w... more
The originality of McLuhan’s approach to the spiritual dimension of existence seeps through many of his writings. If he could leave such a deep track in twentieth century thought, it was because of an really uncommon aesthetic insight... more
The Aalborg Project may be interpreted as a metaphor of modern politics, modern administration and planning, and of modernity itself. The basic idea of the project was comprehensive, coherent, and innovative, and it was based on rational... more
At the same time that case studies are widely used and have produced canonical texts, it may be observed that the case study as a methodology is generally held in low regard, or is simply ignored, within the academy. For example, only 2... more
Marshall McLuhan’s notion of the “counter-environment” has great explanatory value when considering North American art of the late 1960s and early 70s whose aim (rather than being the sole object of attention itself) is to direct... more
Abstract: In Discipline and Punish the police is a state institution isomorphic with the prison. In his Collège de France lectures, Foucault unearths a ‘secret history of the police’ where greater attention is paid to public health,... more
In this paper we argue that the use of the communicative theory of Jürgen Habermas in planning theory is problematic because it hampers an understanding of how power shapes planning. We posit an alternative approach based on the power... more
For McLuhan, the artist is the individual able to live fully in the present, “the person who invents the means to bridge between biological inheritance and the environments created by technological innovation.” (1988: 98) This role... more
One of the most innovative and coherent approaches recently proposed in the study of the work of McLuhan has to do with the concept of space. This concept appears in McLuhan’s thinking from the very beginning of his work and evolves as... more

It is suggested that despite the fact that McLuhan claimed not to have a theory of communication that in fact the body of his work does indeed constitute a theory of media and their effects, which is termed as Marshall McLuhan’s General... more
This article presents the theoretical and methodological considerations behind a research method which the author calls ‘phronetic planning research’. Such research sets out to answer four questions of power and values for specific... more
Back cover text: If the new fin de siècle marks a recurrence of the real, Bent Flyvbjerg’s Rationality and Power epitomizes that development and sets new standards for social and political inquiry. The Danish town of Aalborg is to... more

Nel passaggio dal mythos al logos è un intero polimorfo universo a eclissarsi, popolato da divinità, culti, epifanie, riti, preghiere e canti, che lasciano il posto al muto e silenzioso rigore della ragione, motore di un sapere laico e... more
