The New Permanent Record -- Epilogue: Looking Back at Mediums -- Notes -- IndexConsidering texts by Henry James, Gertrude Stein, James Weldon Johnson, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ralph Ellison, Richard Wright, James Agee, and William Carlos Williams, alongside film, painting, music, and popular culture, Mark Goble explores the development of American modernism as it was shaped by its response to technology and an attempt to change how literature itself could communicate.Goble's original readings reinterpret the aesthetics of modernism in the early twentieth century, when new modes of communication made the experience of technology an occasion for profound experimentation and reflection. He follows the assimilation of such "old" media technologies as the telegraph, telephone, and phonograph and their role in inspiring fantasies of connection, which informed a commitment to the materiality of artistic mediums. Describing how relationships made possible by technology became more powerfully experienced with technology, Goble explores a modernist fetish for media that shows no signs of abating. The "mediated life" puts technology into communication with a series of shifts in how Americans conceive the mechanics and meanings of their connections to one another, and therefore to the world and to their own modernity.Mass media and literatureUnited StatesAmerican literature20th centuryHistory and criticismMass media and cultureUnited StatesInterpersonal communicationTechnological innovationsSocial aspectsUnited StatesSocial interactionTechnological innovationsUnited StatesElectronic books.Mass media and literatureAmerican literatureHistory and criticism.Mass media and cultureInterpersonal communicationTechnological innovationsSocial aspectsSocial interactionTechnological innovations302.230973Goble Mark1035909MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458948003321Beautiful circuits2455868UNINA02301nam 2200565 a 450 991045310240332120200520144314.01-281-98574-0978661198574590-485-0464-3(CKB)1000000000555205(EBL)419940(OCoLC)476250996(SSID)ssj0000173467(PQKBManifestationID)11170008(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000173467(PQKBWorkID)10164183(PQKB)10960801(MiAaPQ)EBC419940(Au-PeEL)EBL419940(CaPaEBR)ebr10302717(CaONFJC)MIL198574(EXLCZ)99100000000055520520091013d2005 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrHow Europeans see Europe[electronic resource] structure and dynamics of European legitimacy beliefs /Angelika ScheuerAmsterdam Vossiuspers UvAc20051 online resource (227 p.)Description based upon print version of record.90-5629-408-3 Includes bibliographical references.Table of Contents; List of Figures and Tables; List of Abbreviations; Ch.1: European attitudes in public opinion research; Ch.2: Design of the study; Ch.3: Structure of the European belief system; Ch.4: Dynamics of European legitimacy beliefs; Ch.5: How Europeans see Europe168; Appendix A: Questionnaire; Appendix B: Mokken Scales; Appendix C: Measurement and structural models; Appendix D: Dynamic Modelling; References; Dutch SummaryHow do citizens perceive the shift from economic integration to political unification?
