| Descripción: | Abstract: This plenary address to the Laurier conference extends the fundamental insight of Innis and McLuhan that communication studies concerns time and space by inviting scholars to consider the very large and the very small, the very old and the very far, as outer limits to communication theory. Specifically, it explores geology, astronomy, and cosmology as inquiries into media that span deep time and deep space. It suggests that communication studies is not merely an interdisciplinary field, but one that goes beyond the human scale and potentially encompasses any inquiry into time and space. The untold expanse of communication is a territory, I contend, which we are only just beginning to appreciate. Résumé : Cette allocution plénière au congrès Laurier pousse plus loin l'idée fondamentale d'Innis et McLuhan que les études en communication portent sur le temps et l'espace, en invitant les érudits à considérer le très grand et le très petit, le très vieux et le très distant comme confins de la théorie en communication. Plus particulièrement, cette allocution explore la géologie, l'astronomie et la cosmologie à titre d'enquêtes sur les médias qui tiennent compte du temps et de l'espace profonds. Elle suggère que la communication n'est pas seulement un champ interdisciplinaire mais aussi un champ qui dépasse la dimension humaine pour englober potentiellement toute enquête sur le temps et l'espace. La véritable portée de la communication comporte selon moi un territoire qu'on commence à peine à apprécier. |
