This collection of essays is the first comprehensive discussion of
the role technology plays in shaping Beckett's trademark
aesthetics. Samuel Beckett and Technology assembles an innovative
and diverse range of scholarly approaches to the topic, which
collectively renegotiate our understanding of his work in prose,
theatre, film, radio and television. What emerges from these
discussions is the centrality of technology for Beckett's creative
imagination, a factor that is equally enabling as it is limiting.
At the same time, the book reveals how theories of technology can
yield new readings of the way Beckett responds to the conditions of
technological modernity. As such, Beckett's work is examined in its
relation to historical and contemporary technologies, discourses of
technicity and techne, post-humanism, and the digital age.
