Dear all,
We're delighted to announce the first book in Open Humanities Press' new
Technographies series, which is edited by Steven Connor, James Purdon
and David Trotter.
Writing, Medium, Machine: Modern Technographies, edited by Sean Pryor
and David Trotter, is a collection of thirteen essays by leading
scholars which explores the mutual determination of forms of writing and
forms of technology in modern literature. The essays unfold from a
variety of historical and theoretical perspectives the proposition that
literature is not less but more mechanical than other forms of writing:
a transfigurative ideal machine.
Contributors: Ruth Abbott, John Attridge, Kasia Boddy, Mark Byron, Beci
Carver, Steven Connor, Esther Leslie, Robbie Moore, Julian Murphet,
James Purdon, Sean Pryor, Paul Sheehan, Kristen Treen.
