What happens to people, places and objects that do not fit the
ordering regimes and progressive narratives of modernity?
Conventional understandings imply that progress leaves such things
behind, and excludes them as though they were valueless waste. This
volume uses the concept of indeterminacy to explore how conditions
of exclusion and abandonment may give rise to new values, as well
as to states of despair and alienation. Drawing upon ethnographic
research about a wide variety of contexts, the chapters here
explore how indeterminacy is created and experienced in
relationship to projects of classification and progress.
This set includes the key ninteenth century histories of British
journalism. Since William Caxton set up the first printing press in
London in 1476, and his apprentice Wynkyn de Worde started printing
in Fleet Street, printing and newspapers have become a major part
of political and cultural history. These histories follow the
changing patterns of newsapers from their real beginnings in the
seventeenth century, through the rise of provincial newspapers of
the eighteenth century, and the changes of distribution in the
nineteenth century. Between them the books cover biographical
sketches of leading personalities, discussions of press trials and
histories of individual newspapers. A companion set on the history
of American journalism will be published in 1999.
