Multimedia Histories: From the Magic Lantern to the Internet is the
first book to explore in detail the vital connections between
today's digital culture and an absorbing history of screen
entertainments and technologies. Its range of coverage moves from
the magic lantern, the stereoscope and early film to the DVD and
the internet. By reaching back into the innovative media practices
of the nineteenth century, Multimedia Histories outlines many of
the revealing continuities between nineteenth, twentieth, and
twenty-first century multimedia culture. Comprising some of the
most important new work on multimedia culture and history by key
writers in this growing field, Multimedia Histories will be an
indispensable new sourcebook for the discipline. It will be an
important intervention in rethinking the boundaries of
Anglo-American film and media history.
New Media and Popular Imagination places the current technological
upheaval in audio-visual culture in the context of previous periods
of twentieth-century media innovation. Examining popular and
industry responses to the introduction of radio, television, and
digital media into the home, the book underscores the continuities
and disjunctions in the ways in which electronic media have been
anticipated, promoted, and resisted in twentieth-century America.
New Media and Popular Imagination offers a highly original account
of the ways in which successive media of electronic communication -
radio, television, and digital media - have been anticipated,
debated, and taken up in the twentieth-century United States.
Intended as an intervention in the emerging scholarly and policy
debates around contemporary digital culture, the book analyses
popular responses to earlier moments of technological innovation in
the twentieth-century. Successive electronic media have challenged
the borders between private and public, disturbed notions of
national identity, and disrupted the gendered routines and spaces
of the private home. Illuminating both the continuities and
disjunctions between old media and new, New Media and Popular
Imagination offers new insights into the relationship between
technological change and cultural form.
