. . . phonetic writing translates a society out of
the hyper-sensitive world of magical resonance
and formal space into neutral, homogeneous or
pictorial space . . . this reduction of magical,
resonating space to uniform “rational” space is
the base of Western life and art, and is quite
incompatible with electric technology.
Marshall McLuhan, “Through the Vanishing Point”,
unpublished, May 1, 1961, p. 2.
