Teknoloji Felsefesici Olarak Lewis Mumford'un İletişim ve Medya Çalışmalarına Katkısı

Öz

Kent çalışmaları ve teknoloji tarihi metinleriyle bilinen ve birçok farklı disiplinde çalışmalar yapmış olan Lewis Mumford’un teknoloji temelli iletişim çalışmalarına katkısı çok fazla değerlendirmeye alınan bir konu değildir. Özellikle medya ekolojisi geleneği çevre olarak medyanın incelenmesi yaklaşımıyla medya çalışmalarını ele alırken Mumford’un ekolojik temelli kent çalışmalarıyla anoloji kurulmasını sağlamıştır. Ortam olarak şehir ve ortam olarak medyayı incelemek benzer yaklaşımlar üretmiştir. Mumford’un teknoloji tarihi okuması ise Harold Innis ve Marshall McLuhan gibi isimlerin medya çalışmalarını etkilemiştir. Medya ekosistemindeki değişim ile insan zihnindeki değişim arasındaki paralelliğe uygun olarak bir teknoloji ve iletişim çağ dönemleri oluşturabilmelerine zemin hazırlamıştır. Bu çalışmada Lewis Mumford’un iletişim ve medya çalışmalarına yapmış olduğu katkılar, Mumford’un çalışmaları üzerinden ele alınacaktır.

Lewis Mumford's Contribution to Communication and Media Studies as a Technology Philosopher

Abstract

Lewis Mumford is a renowned scholar worked in various disciplines and chiefly known for his works in urban studies and technology history fields. Mumford’s contributions to technology-based communication studies is a disregarded/understudied subject. In particular, Mumford’s ecological-based urban studies have enabled the establishment of an analogy in the context of the dealing the media studies with the approach of examining the media as environment in the tradition of media ecology. Examining the city as a medium and the media as a medium has produced similar approaches. Mumford's study of the history of technology has influenced various media studies scholars such as Harold Innis and Marshall McLuhan. In accordance with the parallels between changes in the media ecosystem and the human mind, Mumford’s studies paved the way for them to create a technology and communication era. Through Lewis Mumford’s studies, this study discusses Lewis Mumford's contributions to communication and media studies.
