ISLAS, Octavio. The Media Ecology: Complex and Systemic Meta-discipline. Palabra Clave [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.4, pp.1057-1083. ISSN 0122-8285.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pacla.2015.18.4.5.

The media ecology is not a theoretical stream of communication sciences nor is it limited and exhausted by the work and thinking of Marshall McLuhan. The media ecology is a complex and systemic meta-discipline, whose object of study are the changes that technologies and media in societies have produced throughout history. In this paper we discuss the scope of media ecology as current theoretical and epistemological way and makes a bet that transcends the traditional view and involves a wide range of sciences such as grammar, rhetoric, semiotics, theory of systems, history, philosophy, cybernetics, communication sciences, arts and literature-and of course, the technology itself.

Keywords : Media ecology; meta-discipline; complexity; Marshall McLuhan.
