Originally a mathematical term, Hanjo Berressem applies Eigenvalue, which roughly translates to \u003ci\u003eproper value\u003c\/i\u003e, to the media studies discipline for the first time, providing a philological history and line of development across the sciences through to contemporary cultural studies. Berressem's groundbreaking work is organized into 2 books, with the first book broken down into six topical areas - mathematics, physics, cybernetics, biology, literary studies, cultural studies. The second book discusses the place of eigenvalues in sound, light and literature, specifically, Alvin Lucier’s experimental composition “I am Sitting in a Room,” Bill Morrison’s eight-minute experimental film \u003ci\u003eLight is Calling \u003c\/i\u003eand the literary works of Thomas Pynchon. Berressem's thought-provoking philology is an important reference point for readers seeking an authoritative introduction to a term that connects other key ideas in contemporary debate.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52670159257873,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52670159847697,"sku":"NLS9781501335181","price":127.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781501335181.jpg?v=1793269680","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/eigenvalue-book-hanjo-berressem-9781501335181","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
