HI Nathan, You might want to ask your question on the mediaecology listserv at: mediaecology@ube.ubalt.edu Many people in this group do work along these lines. Meyrowitz's work is well known among that group (as it McLuhan's) and I believe he is a member of that group. Good luck, IB Irene Berkowitz Coordinator for Curricular Publications and Systems Office of the Vice Provost Temple University tel. 215-204-7596 fax. 215-204 3175 berkowitz@mail.temple.edu

Help

I am currently doing some research regarding Medium Theory which was originated by Joshua Meyrowitz in his 1985 book No Sense of Place.

I

am looking for information about those whom have engaged this theory in their research today, whether to critique it or to further advance the theory. For those unfamiliar with the theory, it is very McLuhanesque in nature. It states that media are simply not channels for conveying information between two environments, but rather are environments in and of themselves. Unlike McLuhan (Technological Determinism), this theory states that media don't wholly shape culture and society, but changes in communication patterns are one very important contribution. Any information or leads into scholars who address Meyrowitz's work would be greatly appreciated.
