Gramophone, film, typewriter
Kittler, Friedrich A.
1999
Stanford, Stanford University Press. 315 p.
Resumen: Toward the end of the nineteenth century, the hegemony of the printed word was shattered by the arrival of new media technologies that offered novel ways of communicating and storing data. Previously, writing had operated by way of symbolic mediation-all data had to pass through the needle's eye of the written signifier-but phonography, photography, and cinematography stored physical effects of the real in the shape of sound waves and light. The entire question of referentiality had to be recast in light of these new media technologies; in addition, the use of the typewriter changed the perception of writing from that of a unique expression of a literate individual to that of a sequence of naked material signifiers. Part technological history of the emergent new media in the late nineteenth century, part theoretical discussion of the responses to these media-including texts by Rilke, Kafka, and Heidegger, as well as elaborations by Edison, Bell, Turing, and other innovators-Gramophone, Film, Typewriter analyzes this momentous shift using insights from the work of Foucault, Lacan, and McLuhan.

Comunicación y mediaciones en la era digital

Comunicación y mediaciones en la era digital
Ollivier, Bruno
Santiago de Chile, LOM. 222 p.
Resumen: Este libro se halla dinamizado por una honda preocupación: la de los fuertes trastornos que está sufriendo la educación, entendida no sólo en lo que concierne a la enseñanza de "la comunicación" sino a la idea misma de lo que educar significa en la era digital, es decir cuando lo tecnológico no se queda en los aparatos que llegan a la escuela sino que se encarna en las sensibilidades y los lenguajes de los alumnos, desafiando los modernos modos de saber y de enseñar.

Multimodality

Multimodality: a social semiotic approach to contemporary communication
Kress, Gunther
2010
London ; New York, Routledge. xvi, 212 p. : il.
Resumen: The 21st century is awash with ever more mixed and remixed images, writing, layout, sound, gesture, speech, and 3D objects.
Multimodality looks beyond language and examines these multiple modes of communication and meaning making.
Multimodality: A Social Semiotic Approach to Contemporary Communication represents a long-awaited and much anticipated addition to the study of multimodality from the scholar who pioneered and continues to play a decisive role in shaping the field.
Written in an accessible manner and illustrated with a wealth of photos and illustrations to clearly demonstrate the points made, Multimodality: A Social Semiotic Approach to Contemporary Communication deliberately sets out to locate communication in the everyday, covering topics and issues not usually discussed in books of this kind, from traffic signs to mobile phones.
In this book, Gunther Kress presents a contemporary, distinctive and widely applicable approach to communication. He provides the framework necessary for understanding the attempt to bring all modes of meaning-making together under one unified theoretical roof.
This exploration of an increasingly vital area of language and communication studies will be of interest to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of English language and applied linguistics, media and communication studies and education.
