mTheory"We don't know who discovered water,but we're certain it wasn't a fish." (They Became What They Beheld )
mTheory is a collaborative venture begun by people on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. We're on the edge of the (former) empire. We've been influenced by the tradition of Canadian media theorists beginning with Harold Adams Innis, and including Marshall McLuhan, Edmund Carpenter, Wilson Duff, Joyce Nelson, George Grant, Bruce Powe, Moses Znaimer, and Arthur and Marilouise Kroker.
Harold Innis created a philosophical niche for students of the media who live on the margins, and he established a strategy for investigating the medium and the message. If you read the articles in these journals, you'll be struck by their eccentricity in some cases, but also by their deep commitment to questioning the dilemmas faced by humanity. These writers hunger for something they can believe to be true, and have tired of hearing what they know to be false.
