2. The reign of McLuhanism
épopée de McLuhan
1967 -72

4. Williams (1974) stresses the importance of
technology in shaping the cultural form of
television, while always resisting the
determinism of McLuhan's dictum that 'the
medium is the message'...
Williams argues that, on the contrary, we as
viewers have the power to disturb, disrupt and
to distract the otherwise cold logic of history
and technology - not just because television is
part of the fabric of our daily lives, but because
new technologies continue to offer
opportunities, momentarily outside the sway of
transnational corporations or the grasp of
media moguls, for new forms of self and
political expression.

24. Cinema is changing…

25. In 2008, the UK Film council commissioned a study of
the cultural impact of British film: Stories We Tell
Ourselves.
This meant looking objectively at how UK films reach
their audiences – in the past and today – and trying to
assess what measurable impact this has had.
