TOC Media Transatlantic

Media Transatlantic is
published by Springer. It can be accessed for free by those with library
accounts that offer SpringerLink. It includes papers on McLuhan by Michael
Darroch, Rainer Leschke and yours truly. See:

Also, I put together this video that tells a story that McLuhan would have
appreciated. It is by an author of a book on PTSD (post traumatic stress
disorder), and it tells of how one of the primary symptoms of the disease,
the "flashback was enabled through the medium of film. Film, TV, etc.
allowed what was earlier experienced as ghosts and phantoms to now be seen
as a "flashback" in a film, where "dead" people could also reappear and
act.
