El estallido de las formas

El estallido de las formas: Chile en los albores de la "cultura de masas"

Ossandón B, Carlos

Santa Cruz A., Eduardo

2005

Santiago de Chile, LOM Ediciones, Universidad ARCIS. 303 p.

Resumen: El texto busca explorar en la naciente "cultura de masas" en Chile: un modo de relación cultural o pública que se constituye desde fines del siglo XIX. Es éste un escenario heterogéneo, atravesado por públicos y ethos distintos, donde irrumpen medios nuevos tales como las revistas magazinescas y especializadas, la fotografía impresa y el cine mudo: unas formas y códigos que traen inéditas improntas culturales. En este contexto, el libro concentra su atención en las nuevas tendencias que se aprecian en la prensa periódica, realizando un matizado diálogo entre el pasado y el presente.

Deep time of the media

Deep time of the media : toward an archaeology of hearing and seeing by technical means
Zielinski, Siegfried
2008
Cambridge, MIT Press. 375 p.
Resumen: Deep Time of the Media takes us on an archaeological quest into the hidden layers of media development—dynamic moments of intense activity in media design and construction that have been largely ignored in the historical-media archaeological record. Siegfried Zielinski argues that the history of the media does not proceed predictably from primitive tools to complex machinery; in Deep Time of the Media, he illuminates turning points of media history—fractures in the predictable—that help us see the new in the old.

Cartographies of place

Cartographies of place : navigating the urban
Marchessault, Janine
Darroch, Michael
2014
Montréal & Kingston, McGill-Queen's University Press. 309 p.
Resumen: Media are incorporated into our physical environments more dramatically than ever before - literally opening up new spaces of interactivity and connection that transform the experience of being in the city. Public gatherings and movement, even the capabilities of democratic ideology, have been redefined. Urban Screens, mobile media, new digital mappings, and ambient and pervasive media have all created new ecologies in cities. How do we analyze these new spaces?.
Recognition of the mutual histories and research programs of urban and media studies is only the beginning. Cartographies of Place develops new vocabularies and methodologies for engaging with the distinctive situations and experiences created by media technologies which are reshaping, augmenting, and expanding urban spaces.

A geology of media

A geology of media
Parikka, Jussi
2015
Minneapolis, University of Minnesota Press. 206 p.
Resumen: Media history is millions, even billions, of years old. That is the premise of Jussi Parikka’s pioneering and provocative book, A Geology of Media, which argues that to adequately understand contemporary media culture we must set out from material realities that precede media themselves—Earth’s history, geological formations, minerals, and energy.

Media archaeology : approaches, applications, and implications

Media archaeology : approaches, applications, and implications
Huhtamo, Erkki
Parikka, Jussi
2011
Berkeley, University of California Press. 356 p.
Resumen: This book introduces an archaeological approach to the study of media - one that sifts through the evidence to learn how media were written about, used, designed, preserved, and sometimes discarded. Edited by Erkki Huhtamo and Jussi Parikka, with contributions from internationally prominent scholars from Europe, North America, and Japan, the essays help us understand how the media that predate today’s interactive, digital forms were in their time contested, adopted and embedded in the everyday. Providing a broad overview of the many historical and theoretical facets of Media Archaeology as an emerging field, the book encourages discussion by presenting a full range of different voices. By revisiting ‘old’ or even ‘dead’ media, it provides a richer horizon for understanding ‘new’ media in their complex and often contradictory roles in contemporary society and culture.
