Writing, Medium, Machine: Modern Technographies
Writing, Medium, Machine: Modern Technographies explores
the mutual determination of forms of writing and forms of
technology in modern literature. The collection breaks new ground
archaeologically, unearthing representations in literature and
film of a whole range of decisive technologies from the music box
and the stereopticon through census- and slot-machines to the
stock ticker, the Telex, and the telephone. It also contributes
significantly to critical and cultural theory by investigating
key concepts which articulate the relation between writing and
technology: number, measure, encoding, encryption, the archive,
the interface.
