[ecrea] McLuhan’s Philosophy of Media – Centennial Conference

McLuhan’s Philosophy of Media – Centennial Conference- Contact Forum

26 - 28 October 2011
Brussels, Belgium

Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980): media theorist, cultural critic, provoker. 
But undoubtedly influential.

In 2011, McLuhan would have celebrated his 100th birthday. A perfect 
moment to look back as well as ahead. During this interdisciplinary 
conference, we will discuss McLuhan's ideas from different perspectives 
and traditions, but at the same time highlight an aspect of McLuhan that 
until now has been underexposed: his philosophy of media.


 Keynote Speakers:

    Robert K. Logan - University of Toronto
    Derrick de Kerckhove - University of Toronto
    Paul Levinson - Fordham University, New York
    Graham Harman -  American University in Cairo, Egypt
    Peter-Paul Verbeek - University of Twente, Enschede

This conference will take place in Brussels from October 26th to 28th, 2011.
