Abstract
The application of the Cameo (CharacterizationsAutomatically Made and Edited Online) bibliometric techni-que -one of the most advanced methodologies for the analy-sis and representation of information- to the research historyof Marshall McLuhan allows us to create a scientific portraitof this Canadian communications expert. The Cameo portraitidentifies McLuhan¿s professional and academic interests, theauthors that most heavily influenced his wave-breaking theoriesand the evolution of his line of thought in current trends of Com-munication. By analysing the relational information of citationscontained in articles about McLuhan in the ISI Web of Science,we were able to create a map of his intellectual sojourns, inclu-ding signposts of the most influential authors in his professionalcareer, along with a second representation that shows the ¿foo-tprints¿ his writings have left in the world
