Writing, Medium, Machine by Sean Pryor

Writing, Medium, Machine by Sean Pryor

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.

Contributors: Ruth Abbott, Edward Allen, John Attridge, Kasia Boddy, Mark Byron, Sarah Cain, Beci Carver, Steven Connor, Esther Leslie, Robbie Moore, Julian Murphet, James Purdon, Sean Pryor, Paul Sheehan, Kristen Treen.
