Outline:



2014 marks the fifty-year anniversary of one of the 20th century’s most 
influential texts - Understanding Media by Marshall McLuhan not only 
introduced the media-as-the-message, it presented the world with the 
metaphor of the global village. Half a century after the publication of 
this revolutionary text, The Mediated City – Los Angeles – Conference 
seeks to explore the multiple ways in which the city of today is 
experienced, perceived, represented and constructed as a ‘mediated’ 
phenomenon.
