We will explore the thesis that social media are used to achieve many of the same objectives of traditional wall-based graffiti and as such are forms of electronic graffiti that can reach a much larger audience than traditional graffiti scratched or painted on walls, buildings, monuments and other public surfaces. The parallel of graffiti and e-graffiti is that both provide a medium of communication and expression to those without access to the traditional mass me- dia channels of society controlled by the owners (private or governmental) of commercial me- dia outlets. We will focus in this study on the uses of social media that parallel wall-based graf- fiti such as personal aggrandizement, boasting of achievements, protesting, expressing woke culture, political propaganda and protest, hatred, love, and rebellion. We also identify similari- ties and differences between wall-based traditional graffiti and e-graffiti.

Byung-Chul Han’s pivotal works display a provocative examination of digital technologies, capitalism and its commodification of life, achievement society and its pathologies. This article examines these issues in relation to the end of the disciplinary and immunological paradigm and the shift toward a neuronal model at the base of the present-day human subject and its social and political consequences. The relationship between new technologies and self-exploitation, pornographication of the ego and the disappearance of the Other is explored in conjunction with the overload of information and entropy, and an agonizing democracy.

The aim of this paper is to review The MediuM, a board game developed by professor Paolo Granata with his students in the Book & Media Studies Program at St. Michael’s College in the University of Toronto. It is based on Marshall McLuhan’s Laws of Media and one of its goals is to stimulate creative and fast thinking skills. After playing the game, we inferred that it encourages players to think about how technology, as McLuhan argued, determines society and, at the same time, how people cannot be functionally separated from them.
本文旨在评述多伦多大学圣迈克尔学院的保罗-格拉纳塔(Paolo Granata)教授与其图书与媒体研究课程的学生共同开发的棋盘游戏 "媒体"(The MediuM)。该游戏以马歇尔-麦克卢汉(Marshall McLuhan)的 "媒体法则"(Laws of Media)为基础,其目标之一是激发学生的创造力和快速思考能力。玩过这个游戏后,我们推断它鼓励玩家思考麦克卢汉所说的技术是如何决定社会的,同时人又是如何在功能上无法与技术分离的。
