Gary Genosko traces parallels between the 1960s “McLuhan Cult” and the 1980s “Baudrillard Scene,” analyzing how McLuhan’s ideas persist, are reinterpreted, and become distorted through Baudrillard’s concepts. The study argues that Baudrillard’s influence produces the strongest impact on contemporary cultural thought and practice.","ROUTLEDGE  \nMcLUHANANDBAUDRILLARD  \n# THE MASTERS OF IMPLOSION\n\nhttps://archive.org/details/mcluhanbaudrilla0000geno  \nMCLUHAN AND BAUDRILLARD  \n“McLuban and Baudrillard is a supremely confident handling of the emergenceof McLuhanism in its French context.Genosko has just the right kind ofexpertise to bring this off,and he does it.This crisply written text is astuteand perceptive,with a fine grasp of the central issues,and will appeal toundergraduates and postgraduates across a wide spectrum of disciplines.\"  \nMike Gane,Loughborough University  \nMarshall McLuhan,the media guru of the 1960s,has not been forgotten.Almost two decades after his death,a McLuhan renaissance is under way,fuelled by the very developments in new media technologies he long agopredicted.His famous buzzphrases,\"the medium is the message”and “theGlobal Village,\"are once again in circulation.Setting out the theoretical andhistorical context of this renaissance,McLuhan and Baudrillard:The Masters ofImplosion traces the impact of McLuhan's ideas on French cultural life and inpostmodern theory.  \nTracing parallels between the so-called “McLuhan Cult”of the 1960s and the\"Baudrillard Scene”of the 1980s,Gary Genosko explores how McLuhan'sideas persist and are distorted through Baudrillard's work,via concepts suchas semiurgy,participation,reversibility,the primitive/tribal and implosion.He argues that it is through Baudrillard's influence that McLuhanism has hadits greatest impact on contemporary cultural thought and practice.  \nGary Genosko is Senior Research Fellow of the McLuhan Program in Cultureand Technology at the University of Toronto.  \nMCLUHAN ANDBAUDRILLARD  \n# The masters of implosion\n\nGaryGrenosk  \nROUTLEDGE  \nFirst published 1999by Routledge11 New Fetter Lane,London EC4P4EE
