Note de contenu : Descrizione libro CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS, United Kingdom, 2017. Paperback. Condizione libro: New. Language: English . Brand New Book. The Life and Death of ACT UP/LA explores the history of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power, Los Angeles, part of the militant anti-AIDS movement of the 1980s and 1990s. ACT UP/LA battled government, medical, and institutional neglect of the AIDS epidemic, engaging in multi-targeted protest in Los Angeles and nationally. The book shows how appealing the direct action anti-AIDS activism was for people across the United States; as well as arguing the need to understand how the politics of place affect organizing, and how the particular features of the Los Angeles cityscape shaped possibilities for activists. A feminist lens is used, seeing social inequalities as mutually reinforcing and interdependent, to examine the interaction of activists and the outcomes of their actions. Their struggle against AIDS and homophobia, and to have a voice in their healthcare, presaged the progressive, multi-issue, anti-corporate, confrontational organizing of the late twentieth century, and deserves to be part of that history.

Public ISBD Titre : Gramophone, Film, Typewriter , Friedrich A. Kittler : Translated, with an introduction, by GEOFFREY WINTHROP-YOUNG and MICHAEL WUTZ - WRITING SCIENCE Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Friedrich A. Kittler, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 1999 Importance : 315P.

Mass Media Note de contenu : Book Description Stanford University Press, United States, 1999. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book. 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. Fusing discourse analysis, structuralist psychoanalysis, and media theory, the author adds a vital historical dimension to the current debates over the relationship between electronic literacy and poststructuralism, and the extent to which we are constituted by our technologies. The book ties the establishment of new discursive practices to the introduction of new media technologies, and it shows how both determine the ways in which psychoanalysis conceives of the psychic apparatus in terms of information machines. Gramophone, Film, Typewriter is, among other things, a continuation as well as a detailed elaboration of the second part of the author s Discourse Networks, 1800/1900 (Stanford, 1990). As such, it bridges the gap between Kittler s discourse analysis of the 1980 s and his increasingly computer-oriented work of the 1990 s. Gramophone, Film, Typewriter , Friedrich A.
