Sokratis Georgiadis, “Introduction,” Building in France, 53. Georgiadis discusses Giedion’s influence on Benjamin (44, 53, 75-76). We should remember that Kracauer was trained as an architect and his writings on film are always connected to the capitalist metropolis and the built environment. Giedion also had a strong influence on the formation of the interdisciplinary journal Explorations which McLuhan co-edited with anthropologist Edmund Carpenter in the 1950s. This is early incarnation of media studies in North America inspired by Giedion’s books.
