  • Pour comprendre les médias : les prolongements technologiques de l'homme est un essai publié par Marshall McLuhan (Canada) en 1964 et traduit en français en 1968. Ouvrage de référence pour les sciences de l'information et de la communication, il a permis à McLuhan de présenter le résultat de ses travaux dans le domaine. La thèse principale abordée dans le livre est la suivante : « Le médium est le message. ». Ainsi, McLuhan démontre que le message, contenu de la communication, est accessoire ; le véritable message étant le média lui-même. Les médias (presse, radio, télévision, livre, etc), d'après l'auteur, exercent une action profonde sur l'individu puisqu'ils sont le prolongement de nos organes physiques et de notre système nerveux.

  • Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man is a 1964 book by Marshall McLuhan, in which the author proposes that the media, not the content that they carry, should be the focus of study. He suggests that the medium affects the society in which it plays a role mainly by the characteristics of the medium rather than the content. The book is considered a pioneering study in media theory. McLuhan pointed to the light bulb as an example. A light bulb does not have content in the way that a newspaper has articles or a television has programs, yet it is a medium that has a social effect; that is, a light bulb enables people to create spaces during nighttime that would otherwise be enveloped by darkness. He describes the light bulb as a medium without any content. McLuhan states that "a light bulb creates an environment by its mere presence." More controversially, he postulated that content had little effect on society—in other words, it did not matter if television broadcasts children's shows or violent programming. He noted that all media have characteristics that engage the viewer in different ways; for instance, a passage in a book could be reread at will, but a movie had to be screened again in its entirety to study any individual part of it. The book is the source of the well-known phrase "the medium is the message". It was a leading indicator of the upheaval of local cultures by increasingly globalized values. The book greatly influenced academics, writers, and social theorists. The book discussed the radical analysis of social change, how society is shaped, and reflected by communications media. (en)
  • Gli strumenti del comunicare è un saggio scritto da Marshall McLuhan nel 1964, pubblicato in Italia nel 1967 da Il Saggiatore. Il saggio, intitolato nella versione originale inglese Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man (lett. "Capire i media: le estensioni dell'uomo"), contiene i concetti come "il mezzo è il messaggio", "villaggio globale", "rivoluzione elettronica", "media caldi e media freddi". Seppur difficilmente classificabile all'interno di una categoria del pensiero o della scienza, resta un modello significativo di interpretazione della comunicazione. L'autore dimostra come i media trasformano tutto ciò che toccano, anche le realtà umane. (it)
