The essays in Rethinking Media Change center on a variety of
media forms at moments of disruption and cultural transformation.
The editors' introduction sketches an aesthetics of media
transition -- patterns of development and social dispersion that
operate across eras, media forms, and cultures. The book includes
case studies of such earlier media as the book, the phonograph,
early cinema, and television. It also examines contemporary digital
forms, exploring their promise and strangeness. A final section
probes aspects of visual culture in such environments as the
evolving museum, movie spectaculars, and "the virtual window."The
contributors reject apocalyptic scenarios of media revolution,
demonstrating instead that media transition is always a mix of
tradition and innovation, an accretive process in which emerging
and established systems interact, shift, and collude with one
another.
