Scripts, Grooves, and Writing Machines: Representing Technology in the Edison Era
ISBN: 9780804738729 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych.

Its aim is to explore writing and reading as culturally contingent experiences, and at the same time to broaden our view of the relationship between technology and textuality. At the book's heart is the proposition that technologies of inscription are materialized theories of language. Whether they failed (like Thomas Edison's "electric pen") or succeeded (like typewriters), inscriptive technologies of the late nineteenth century were local, often competitive...

Paper Knowledge: Toward a Media History of Documents
ISBN: 9780822356578 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Paper Knowledge is a remarkable book about the mundane: the library card, the promissory note, the movie ticket, the PDF (Portable Document Format). It is a media history of the document. Drawing examples from the 1870s, the 1930s, the 1960s, and today, Lisa Gitelman thinks across the media that the document form has come to inhabit over the last 150 years, including letterpress printing, typing and carbon paper, mimeograph, microfilm, offset printing, photocopying, and scanning.
