The Heart of the Matter--by Robert K. Blechman: Abstract
http://rkbheartmatter.blogspot.com/2007/05/abstract.html
The Heart of the Matter. By Robert K. Blechman. This paper explores the hypothesis that the notion of the heart as a meditating organ is more than just a metaphor, that it is an instance of how certain core (i.e. of the heart) beliefs persist across time and differing media. Robert K. Blechman. A version of this paper was presented at the Media Ecology Association Convention at Fordham University, June, 2005 and accepted for publication in the related Proceedings.

The Savage Mind on Madison Avenue: What Claude Lévi-Strauss Said
http://savagemindmadave.blogspot.com/2013/09/what-claude-levi-strauss-said_6.html
The Savage Mind on Madison Avenue. An analysis of television advertising video recordings from the 1970's using a methodology based on the structural anthropology of Claude Lévi-Strauss. I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. All advertising advertises advertising.". Robert K. Blechman. A version of this paper was originally published in the Spring, 1980 issue of ETC: A Journal of General Semantics. Transcendental...

Is this the Future of Education? July 3, 2010 · Filed under Media Ecology. A lot of wags. Have spent the better part of the July 4th weekend mocking Fox News’ Glenn Beck for founding “Beck U”, an online, unaccredited university available to subscribers of his personal website. His announcement. School may be out for the summer, but for Glenn Beck class is just starting. So don’t miss out on this amazing experience. Enroll in Beck University today by subscribing to Insider Extreme. That television persona...

NBC would be insane to let Brian Williams return. 8220;Put yourself in Steve Burke’s chair. You have learned that the guy to whom your company gave the top job doesn’t really desire it…”.

A redefinition of the relationship between citizens, community, government, power, culture, and the complex interactions and meanings associated with each. To be sure, the term ‘America 2.0’ didn’t start here, with the title of this post. If one ‘Googles’ the term. It appears sporadically throughout blog posts. Hey Mike; ...

Shadow and Substance in America 2.0. September 29, 2009 · Filed under America 2.0. 183 Tagged America 2.0. It may be somewhat cliche in academic circles to cite American educator and philosopher John Dewey. Dewey’s work on democracy is pinned to some very important notions of the role of communication. He had a sense of the ecological in his beliefs about our communities and their foundations in acts of communication as shared experience. In his work. The Public and its Problems. That the ability to conn...
