Literacy: The Medium and the Message Part Two
Derek de Kerkhove, co-director at the McLuhan program and commentator on print culture, and Ivan Illich, social critic and historian of medieval reading, explore how book culture transformed perception. They discuss monastic vocal reading, the 12th-century book revolution, word separation, alphabetic ordering, and how literacy reshaped interiority, science, and textual interpretation.
