摘要

Marshall McLuhan's "global village", and his theories on communications andtechnology, in conjunction with Patrick McGoohan's television series The Prisoner(ATV, 1967-1968) are explored in this thesis. The Prisoner, brainchild of McGoohan, isabout the abduction and confinement of a British government agent imprisoned withinthe impenetrable boundaries of a benign but totalitarian city -state called "The Village".The purpose of his abduction and imprisonment is for the extraction of informationregarding his resignation as a government spy. Marshall McLuhan originally popularizedthe phrase "the global village" in The Gutenberg Galaxy: The Making o/the TopographicMan (1962), asserting that, "The new electronic interdependence recreates the world inthe image of a global village" (p. 31). This thesis argues that valid parallels exist betweenMcGoohan's conception of "village", as manifested in The Prisoner, and McLuhan'sglobal village.The comprehensive methodological stratagem for this thesis includes MarshallMcLuhan's "mosaic" approach, Mikhail Bakhtin's concept ofthe "chronotope", as wellas a Foucauldian genealogicallhistorical discourse analysis. In the process ofdeconstructing McLuhan's texts and The Prisoner as products of the 1960s, an historical"constellation" (to use Walter Benjamin's concept) of the same present has beenexecuted. By employing this synthesized methodology, conjunctions have been madebetween McLuhan's theories and the series' main themes of bureaucracy as dictatorship,the perversion of science and technology, freedom as illusion, and the individual inopposition to the collective.A thorough investigation of the global village and The Prisoner will determinewhether or not Marshall McLuhan and/or Patrick McGoohan visualize the village as anenslaving technological reality.
