New Media, Old Media: A History and Theory Reader (repost)

New Media, Old Media: A History and Theory Reader by Wendy Hui Kyong Chun and Thomas Keenan
English | November 15, 2005 | ISBN-10: 0415942241 | 432 pages | PDF | 4,6 Mb

New Media, Old Media examines the historical context of new media technologies. In this volume of original and classic essays, leading media and cultural theorists interrogate new media against the background of older media such as film, photography, and print in order to evaluate the multiple claims-political, social, ethical, and aesthetic-made about the radical difference of the digital age.

Topics discussed include webcams, dotcom mania, Internet journalism, and race on the Web. This provocative collection promises to jolt new media theory out of its dogmatic slumber and serve as a foundational text for students of media across the disciplines.
