SoSe 17: Network Nation: The United States and Media Change
Martin Lüthe
Comments
This seminar aspires to introduce students to the history of media change in the United States. Starting from the assumption that media matter – and have mattered – in the United States (and beyond), we will explore and discuss the changing media ecologies in U.S. history, beginning with the American Revolution and all the way through the 20th century. Not only, but also, in light of the recent debates in the context of the “digital turn”, we will re-visit crucial moments in the history of United States decisively from the vantage point of media history and media theory. From Bernard Bailyn’s ideas regarding the American Revolution as the result of printing technologies (and the medial form of the pamphlet) all the way up to Katherine N. Hayles’ “Writing Machines” and notions of the “post-human”, this seminar will hopefully provide a space for us to think critically through the media/history nexus. close
