Marinetti Dines with the High Command

Richard Cavell

My research focus on media theory and Canadian Studies finds common ground in my publications on foundational media theorist Marshall McLuhan. I am the author of McLuhan in Space: A Cultural Geography (U Toronto P, 2002) and of Remediating McLuhan (Amsterdam UP, 2016), the editor of McLuhan Bound (Gingko, 2015), and the curator of spectresofmcluhan.arts.ubc.ca. Forthcoming publications include the introduction to the German translation of McLuhan’s Understanding Media (2015); “Mechanical Brides and Vampire Squids” in Vilém Flusser and Marshall McLuhan (Videopool, 2015); “Canadian Literature and Cultural Memory,” The Oxford Handbook of Canadian Literature, ed. C. Sugars (2015); “Canadian Cinema and the Intellectual Milieu,” The Oxford Handbook of Canadian Cinema, ed. W. Straw and J. Marchessault (2016); and “Anthems and Anthologies,” Anthologizing Canadian Literature (WLUP, 2015), ed. R. Lecker.
