How did systems of information and communication shape and reflect this extraordinary change? Information and Empire brings together a range of essays to address this complex question. It examines communication networks such as the postal service and the circulation of news, as well as the growth of a bureaucratic apparatus that informed the government about its people. It also considers the inscription of space from the point of view of mapping and the changing public ‘graphosphere’ of signs and monuments. More than a series of institutional histories, this book is concerned with the way Russia discovered itself, envisioned itself and represented itself to its people. Innovative and scholarly, this collection breaks new ground in its approach to communication and information as a fi eld of study in Russia. More broadly, it is an accessible contribution to pre-modern information studies, taking as its basis a country whose history often serves to challenge habitual Western models of development. It is important reading not only for specialists in Russian Studies, but also for students and anyone interested in the history of information and communications.CommunicationRussiaHistoryWritten communicationRussiaHistoryPressRussiaHistoryCommunication in politicsRussiaHistoryPostal serviceRussiaHistoryCommunicationfast(OCoLC)fst00869952Communication in politicsfast(OCoLC)fst00870243Manners and customsfast(OCoLC)fst01007815Politics and governmentfast(OCoLC)fst01919741Postal servicefast(OCoLC)fst01072885Pressfast(OCoLC)fst01075837Written communicationfast(OCoLC)fst01181697RussiaPolitics and governmentRussiaSocial life and customsHistoryRussiafastpostal serviceinformationmaps and atlasescommunicationnews circulationRussian Empiresigns and monumentshistory of communicationCommunicationHistory.Written communicationHistory.PressHistory.Communication in politicsHistory.Postal serviceHistory.Communication.Communication in politics.Manners and customs.Politics and government.Postal service.Press.Written communication.302.230947Franklin Simon156717Franklin SimonBowers KatherineOpen Book Publishers,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910229240203321Information and empire2276820UNINA
