Synopsis
In his 1962 book The Gutenberg Galaxy, Marshall McLuhan wrote the famous words: "The new electronic interdependence recreates the world in the image of a global village." As predicted by the renowned Canadian media theorist, satellite telecommunications, beginning with the first Sputnik launch in 1957, united humanity under a vast "cosmic membrane." An immense web of waves echo information around the planet, and distance and time are abolished. Dreams, upheavals, trends, and conflicts are now experienced on a global scale. Global Village: The 1960s plumbs the depths of those planetary echoes as they resonated throughout the decade in the fields of visual arts, decorative arts, fashion, and architecture. Along with a wealth of images, it contains interviews with diverse key figures of the time, including designer Ettore Sottsass, art critic Arthur Danto, artist Yoko Ono, filmmaker Agn s Varda, curator Okwui Enwezor, writer Tobias Wolff, playwright Michel Tremblay, and artist Carolee Schneeman.

Seller: Loring art (Barcelona), MÁLAGA, MA, Spain
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condition: Nuevo. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. Hacia finales de la década de 1960 y principios de 1970, McLuhan acuñó el término «aldea global» para describir la interconexión humana a escala global generada por los medios electrónicos de comunicación. Global Village: The 1960s explora hasta lo más profundo de esos ecos planetarios que resonaron a lo largo de la década, tanto en los campos de las artes visuales o las artes decorativas, como en la moda o la arquitectura. Profusamente ilustrado, incluye entrevistas con figuras clave de la época, como el diseñador Ettore Sottsass, el crítico de arte Arthur Danto, las artistas Yoko Ono y Carolee Schneeman, la cineasta Agnès Varda, la curadora Okwui Enwezor, el escritor Tobias Wolff, o el dramaturgo Michel Tremblay.
