This book reflects recent scholarly and theoretical developments in
media studies, or Medienwissenschaft. It focuses on linkages
between North America and German-speaking Europe, and brings
together and contextualizes contributions from a range of leading
scholars. In addition to introducing English-language readers to
some of the most prominent contemporary German media theorists and
philosophers, including Claus Pias, Sybille Kramer and Rainer
Leschke, the book shows how foundational North American
contributions are themselves inspired and informed by continental
sources. This book takes Harold Innis or Marshall McLuhan (and
other members of the "Toronto School") as central points of
reference, and traces prospective and retrospective lines of
influence in a cultural geography that is increasingly global in
its scope. In so doing, the book also represents a new episode in
the international reception and reinterpretation of the work of
Innis and McLuhan, the two founders of the theory and study of
media.
