Editorial Reviews

Product Description

New Media, Old Media examines the historical context of new media technologies. In this volume of original and classic essays, leading media and cultural theorists interrogate new media against the background of older media such as film, photography, and print in order to evaluate the multiple claims-political, social, ethical, and aesthetic-made about the radical difference of the digital age. Topics discussed include webcams, dotcom mania, Internet journalism, and race on the Web. This provocative collection promises to jolt new media theory out of its dogmatic slumber and serve as a foundational text for students of media across the disciplines.

About the Author

Thomas W. Keenan is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature and Director of the Human Rights Project at Bard College. Wendy Hui Kyong Chun is Assistant Professor of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University.
