In this timely and highly original merging of theory and practice, conflict photographer and critical theorist Rita Leistner applies Marshall McLuhans semiotic theories of language, media, and technology to iPhone photographs taken during a military embed in Afghanistan. In a series of what Leistner calls iProbesa portmanteau of iPhone and probeLeistner reveals the face of war through the extensions of man. As digital photography becomes more ubiquitous, and as the phones we carry with us become more advanced, the process of capturing images becomes more democratic and more spontaneous. Leistners photos result from both access and impulse. Looking for Marshall McLuhan in Afghanistan will appeal anyone with an interest in the conflicts in the Middle East, the seminal communications theorist, or iPhone apps and photography.

While the photographs in this book are striking, I struggled to connect them to McLuhan’s theories. It’s definitely a creative project, but the flow could use some improvement. Just a mixed experience overall.

A Unique Blend of Art and Theory
I really enjoyed the insights presented in 'Looking for Marshall McLuhan in Afghanistan.' The iPhone photos add an interesting layer to McLuhan’s ideas, and it was nice to see such a creative approach. A good fit for an artsy book club!

Interesting but Slightly Disorganized
I found the mix of iPhone photos and text fascinating, but some parts felt a bit scattered. I appreciate the effort, though. It makes for a unique perspective on McLuhan’s ideas. Worth a read if you’re into media studies!
