A tour of the multiple usages and systems that each historic period
puts forth in the name of communication. This genealogy maps the
many means by which humans interact - from cataloguing others, to
asserting power over them, to working together with them to build
new forms of community. Included are topics such as the elaboration
of warfare as a logistic; the rise of professional societies of
propaganda and national propagation; the history of universal
expositions and world fairs; the birth of documentary and film out
of physiological investigations in the 19th century; the
development of press and the popular novel; and the origins of
American social science. The history runs from the circuits of
exchange to the circulation of goods, people and messages, from the
construction of railroads to the emergence of long-distance
communication. The author brings a clarifying perspective to the
ideologies and theories that accompany these transformations.
