Especially I’d like to share two go-to sites for all things McLuhan this year.

and
Marshall McLuhan Speaks with a great collection of video clips.

The Ninth Annual Convention of the Media Ecology Association
2008 Call for Awards Nominations 

Communication, Technology and the Sacred
Santa Clara, California
June 19-22, 2008

Convention Coordinators:

If, as Walter Ong suggests, technologies of communication and information affect noetic economies (structures of thought); and if noetic economies have to do with what it means to be human; it seems important to consider how the spoken and the mediated word and image contribute to the human soul – or to the sacred. How have technologies and the larger media world altered our experiences of the sacred?
