Subject: Oh, What a Blow That Phantom Gave Me!
This is to announce the digital publication of Edmund
Carpenters Oh, What a Blow That Phantom Gave Me!
http://faculty.virginia.edu/phantom
Based on his work as a communications consultant in Papua New Guinea
from 1969-1971, Carpenter examines the phantom-like effects of media,
arguing that media covertly shape the ways we perceive and experience
the world. The book became a minor classic when first published in
1972 and is now considered by many to be among the foundational works
in the growing fields of Media Ecology and Visual Anthropology.
The full text of Carpenters classic along with supplementary maps
and photos is now on-line. This digital publication will grow to be
much more than just an electronic version of the book. In the spirit
of Carpenters work which always seeks to maximize the potentials of
the medium, this site will be a multi-media and multi-sided
presentation - videos, pictures, maps, and commentaries will appear
right along side the text.
We are now seeking submissions commenting on Carpenters work.
These
commentaries may be about the work in general or more focused on any
one of the 80 entries in the book.
If interested, please contact:
