The second and updated edition of this book, which is supplemented with both a foreword by Geoffrey Winthrop-Young and an afterword by its authors, offers a highly specific perspective on media history by dubbing it historical technology. It thus provides a basic introduction to its subject beginning with the question of what media history actually is. Its answer relates to the concept of history as such: people today need to know about media history extremely urgently because it is not their history but that of the media. |
