I was unable to be there, but your overview helps. I wish I had heard Hagen on Lewis. I just discovered in Time and Western Man Lewis' comments on Joyce and Nashe and their similar style. This was published in '27. Ten years later McLuhan took up Nashe at Cambridge for his thesis concluding with comments on Joyce. Though the Lewis relating Nashe and Joyce has been taken up by Joyce scholars none have noted this back to McLuhan. One may profitably speculate that McLuhan got his thesis topic from Lewis, I think. I heard as well that a follow up session in Berlin at the Canadian embassy pitted Cavell against Ernst with Ernst and his students dissing and dismissing McLuhan altogether.
