摘要

本文跟随Innis、McLuhan和其他人探索空间概念,但这与加拿大民主在我们新兴的数字世界中的生存和演变有关。首先考虑加拿大地理、国家宪法和机构的空间影响,以及联邦政府的支出能力,然后考虑与经济支柱相关的因素,特别是这些因素如何影响我们的制度基础设施,特别是在令人不安的“国家俘获”情况下。除了确定和解决目前配置的数字空间(需要进行根本性改革)的一些问题外,我还探讨了“内部空间”或内部性的概念。我这样做的具体原因是,它作为数字时代最有价值的资源之一,不仅在商业开发方面,而且在防御方面:最终,为动员人们走向更民主的文化服务。在展示加拿大如何在McLuhan之后成为一个“反环境”,使美国的“世界环境”为其全球居住者所感知时,我坚持认为,我们需要的是与Innis所规定的完全相同的文化补救措施,以对抗他自己时代的空间束缚和时间毁灭电子空间的偏见。也就是说,所需要的是恢复Innis所说的“口头传统”,同时将人们重新融入当地社区。

Canada as counter-environment: Canadian democracy in a digital world
This article follows Innis, McLuhan and others in exploring the concept of space, but does so in relation to the survival and evolution of Canadian democracy within our emerging digital world. First considering the spatial implications of Canadian geography, the country’s constitution and institutions, along with the federal government’s spending power, it then considers those associated with economic staples and particularly how these affect our institutional infrastructure, especially in disturbing cases of ‘state capture’. Alongside identifying and addressing a number of concerns relating to digital space as now configured (and which will require fundamental reform), I also probe the concept of ‘inner space’ or interiority. I do this specifically in relation to its role as one of the most valuable resources of the digital age, not only in its commercial exploitation but also in terms of its defence: ultimately, in the service of mobilizing towards a more democratic culture. In demonstrating how Canada, following McLuhan, might function as a ‘counter-environment’ that makes the ‘world environment’ of the United States perceptible to its global occupants, I maintain that what we require is the exact same cultural remedy that Innis prescribed to counter the biases of the space-binding and time-annihilating electronic space of his own time. Namely, what is required is the retrieval of what Innis referred to as ‘oral tradition’, accompanied by the necessary and concomitant re-embedding of people within their local communities.
