Description
Co-authored by anthropologist Edmund Carpenter and Marshall McLuhan, The New Languages investigates how emerging media technologies—such as television, computers, and electronic communication—create entirely new forms of language and expression. The book blends anthropology and media theory, arguing that these technologies reshape sensory perception, cultural identity, and social interaction. Originally published as Explorations in Communication, it builds on McLuhan’s ideas about the "global village" and the transformative power of media.
