At the Movies Movies inspire us. They awe us with their cinematography, romance, and scope. Movies transport us to times and locations we may never know in our day-to-day lives. And, for a book lover, the best part of going to the movies is to read the book that preceded a favorite movie, or to read a book a new movie is based on before heading out to the theater. Here is a listing of current and upcoming movies based on books.

ESCAPING THE MAELSTROM What human trait or experience does the medium enhance? What is the intended function of the medium or technology? What does it improve or make more efficient? Does it extend part of the human body? One or more of the senses? Does it extend an aspect of the human mind, such as memory? Does it amplify some human capability or augment some form of human action? Does it extend the individual, the group or society? What pre-existing technology, method, system, or medium does this medium obsolesce? What older technology does the new medium replace? What does it render unnecessary? What procedures does it short-circuit or bypass? What happens to the old medium that is rendered obsolescent? Does it disappear entirely, become an art object, or find a new niche? What technology, method, system or medium that was previously obsolesced or abandoned does this medium retrieve? What archaic elements are made relevant again? What previously marginalized or repressed ideas, practices or artifacts are brought to the fore? What aspects of the prehistoric, ancient, medieval or early modern world are revived? When fully utilized or pushed to its extreme, what will the medium reverse into? What effects will the medium create that are opposite to what was originally intended? What are the contradictions inherent in the technology? What is the ecological impact?

Proceed Back - Click here. Marshall McLuhan Communications theorist, born in Edmonton, Alberta. Professor of English (1954-80) and director of the Centre for Culture and Technology (1963-80) at the University of Toronto. Books include The Mechanical Bride The Gutenberg Galaxy Understanding Media (1964), and The Medium Is the Massage (with Quentin Fiore, 1967). ART AS ANTI-ENVIRONMENT - excerpt The following was taken from Art News - May 1966 : "...When the industrial and mechanical environment first enveloped the old agrarian world, Nature became an art form for the first time. So did all the old crafts, the yokel, and even savage. The parallel, earlier, was the uplifting of the hunter to a snobbish, aristocratic status when the agrarian world took over as environment and the old hunting grounds became the "content" of new technology. When the industrial and mechanical age became environmental, the arts and crafts acquired a new snobbish, amateurish quality. They became the content of the mechanical age and were accorded the usual upgrading of status. When the electric technology enveloped the mechanical one, we were plunged into the world of machine as art form. Abstract art and functional architecture took over as mimetic repeats of old environment. Pop-Art is part of the same technological fugue. The message and impact of the new environment is quite at variance with the content of new technology. The content is always the old technology, just as the novel was the content of the film when it was new. Now as film is processed by TV, the story line of the book form tends to disappear. The movie form now begins to acquire the nonnarrative structure of a Symbolist poem of a century before. There is thus no direct means of environmental awareness to be won from the consumer approach to such "art" activity. Indirectly, it is possible to construct the characteristic bias of the new environment from the current stock responses..."

We no longer preserve the neat perspective that distinguishes figure from ground; we have only a field of impressions. McLuhan's books struck the public in the 1960s (a time when figure and ground switched places for many) with the projective force he had assigned to print media. This explosion was followed by an implosion driven by the iconic force of the electronic age. His ideas gained currency through television appearances, jokes, a scene in Woody Allen's movie Annie Hall , and not least the conscious homage paid to his ideas by the advertising industry. If you missed McLuhan's ideas going out, don't worryyou certainly received them coming back in. Recently, I began to research and re-evaluate McLuhan. The impetus was a surprise I had not known how to deal with for several years: the success of a book called Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey Friedl. Now that Friedl has just finished with writing, and I with editing, a second edition, this is a good historical moment to integrate the phenomenon into our understanding of the role computer processing plays in social development.

Gilder Marshall McLuhan Canadian philosopher Marshall McLuhan, famous for gnomic utterances such as "the user is the content", foresaw an information millennium in which print was obsolete and we all lived - apparently quite happily - in a global village. McLuhan delighted in paradox and the substitution of aphorism for argument. Much of his thought is ahistorical and reflects his interest in mediaeval idealist philosophy. His harsher critics have dismissed it as simply nonsense. He's perhaps more quoted than understood. He's patron saint of digital lifestyle mag Wired . As a guru's guru - now safely dead - he receives genuflections from enthusiasts such as John Barlow, Nicholas Negroponte and George Gilder. His quips are used to legitimate the incoherent mix of new age elitism and technological determinism that Richard Barbrook generously described as the Californian Ideology life Marshall McLuhan was born in Edmonton, Canada. His father was an insurance salesman and mother an elocution teacher. He studied at the University of Manitoba and at Cambridge, with an emphasis on the scholastic philosophers. His 1942 doctoral dissertation dealt with the rhetoric of Elizabethan playwright and controversialist Thomas Nashe.

And our desire to believe this is reinforced by trends like usability, which privilege economy over elucidation. No one anticipated it all better than Marshall McLuhan, who whittled big insights into sound bites in order to engage an audience beyond the lecture halls of the University of Toronto. With the help of Tom Wolfe and others, the scholarly McLuhan became a cool media prophet. It was, and still is, a practical strategy in anti-intellectual times. But in the process, much of McLuhan's meaning has been reduced to a one-liner. This has as much to do with the absence of commentary on McLuhan's literary, philosophical and cultural influences as it does with the way his work is taught. Few knew the intellectual McLuhan better than the colleagues and friends he taught with at the University of Toronto. As one of McLuhan's first graduate students, Professor Emeritus Donald F. Theall was present during McLuhan's transformation from professor to media-prophet. Theall's experience of McLuhan during this time, and their relationship as colleagues and friends, is the subject of

A Canadian born in 1911, McLuhan became a Christian through the influence of G.K. Chesterton in 1937. He wrote his monumental work, one of twelve books and hundreds of articles, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, in 1964. The subject that would occupy most of McLuhan's career was the task of understanding the effects of technology as it related to popular culture, and how this in turn affected human beings and their relations with one another in communities. Because he was one of the first to sound the alarm, McLuhan has gained the status of a cult hero and "high priest of pop-culture". This status is not undeserved, and McLuhan said many things that are still pertinent today.

Marshall McLuhan and The Gutenberg Galaxy First published in 1962, Marshall McLuhan's The Gutenberg Galaxy studies the emergence of what its author calls Gutenberg Man, the subject produced by the change of consciousness wrought by the advent of the printed book. A propos of his axiom, "The medium is the message," McLuhan argues that technologies are not simply inventions which people employ but are the means by which people are re-invented. The invention of movable type was the decisive moment in the change from a culture in which all the senses partook of a common interplay to a tyranny of the visual. Movable type, with its ability to reproduce texts accurately and swiftly, extended the drive toward homogeneity and repeatability already in evidence in the emergence of perspectival art and the exigencies of the single "point of view". He writes: the world of visual perspective is one of unified and homogeneous space. Such a world is alien to the resonating diversity of spoken words. So language was the last art to accept the visual logic of Gutenberg technology, and the first to rebound in the electric age. (136) For McLuhan, the standardized letter forms of movable type reduced spoken language and even the vagaries of hand-written communication to deviations from an original type. This not only resulted in the commodification of literature but the simultaneous emergence of the "author" and the "public." "Manuscript technology," he writes, "did not have the intensity or power of extension to create publics on a national scale. What we call 'nations' did not and could not precede the advent of Gutenberg technology any more than they can survive the advent of electric circuitry with its power of totally involving all people in other people" (ix).

The Playboy Interview: Marshall McLuhan A candid conversation with the high priest of popcult and metaphysician of media In 1961, the name of Marshall McLuhan was unknown to everyone but his English students at the University of Toronto and a coterie of academic admirers who followed his abstruse articles in small-circulation quarterlies. But then came two remarkable books The Gutenberg Galaxy (1962) and Understanding Media (1964) and the graying professor from Canada's western hinterlands soon found himself characterized by the San Francisco Chronicle as "the hottest academic property around." He has since won a world-wide following for his brilliant and frequently baffling theories about the impact of the media on man; and his name has entered the French language as mucluhanisme, a synonym for the world of pop culture. McLuhan's observations "probes," he prefers to call them are riddled with such flamboyantly undecipherable aphorisms as "The electric light is pure information" and "People don't actually read newspapers they get into them every morning like a hot bath." Of his own work, McLuhan has remarked: "I don't pretend to understand it. After all, my stuff is very difficult." Despite his convoluted syntax, flashy metaphors and word-playful one-liners, however, McLuhan's basic thesis is relatively simple. For his efforts, critics have dubbed him "the Dr. Spock of pop culture," "the guru of the boob tube," a "Canadian Nkrumah who has joined the assault on reason," a "metaphysical wizard possessed by a spatial sense of madness," and "the high priest of popthink who conducts a Black Mass for dilettantes before the altar of historical determinism." Amherst professor Benjamin De-Mott observed: "He's swinging, switched on, with it and NOW. And wrong."

Marjorie Ferguson University of Maryland Marjorie Ferguson is an associate professor in the College of Journalism at the University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742-7111. E-mail: MF29@umail.umd.edu When George Steiner gave CBC Radio's 1974 Massey Lectures his theme was our twentieth-century nostalgia for absolutes: how Western religious decline witnessed the ascendance of secular mythologies like those of Freud and Marx. Missing from the vogueish, absolutist worldviews noted by Steiner, perhaps for Eurocentric or intellectualist reasons, was McLuhanism, then consolidating outside the CBC gates. Toronto's own media mythologizer, Marshall (``I'm the only one who knows what the hell is going on around here'') McLuhan, proved as passionate about ``electric age'' mediacentrism as any Euroanalyst or political economist espousing the power of the unconscious or the proletariat. For him, television imagery returned us to an earlier state of grace, the lost Eden of tribal orality where ``we begin again to structure the primordial feelings and emotions from which 3000 years of literacy divorced us. We begin again to live a myth...'' (McLuhan, 1969, pp. 16-17). But if Canada's contribution to media discourse failed to make the Massey Lectures, 20 years later CBC Television made amends. It gave three hours of national prime time to Moses Znaimer, something of a McLuhan absolutist on the subject of television himself (though in
