Brilliant book on the consequences of technology and writing for our understanding of language, the world and ourselves. Highly recommended.
An okay book on electronic literature, it lacks the sparkle of Writing Machines and its provocative analyses.
One of the best books about the impact materiality has on literature. The concepts of media-specific analysis, material metaphors and technotexts are extremely worthwhile.
A very interesting take on the cultural significance of family photos and the way they structure and are structured by cultural conceptions of the family.
A very interesting book on how the figure of the ghost and the haunted narrative has been used by ethnic American writers to recuperate their lost and repressed pasts.
A fascinating study of how ghosts and specters have moved from the supernatural realm into the psychological.
Mitchell continues his magisterial dissection of visual culture and visual studies. His best contribution is his willingness to work intermedially and interdisciplinary with images, pictures and visual objects; which provides a very functional approach.
Very good book on the theory of pictures from a semiotic/representational point of view. It has very strong readings of the mediality of images (what Mitchell refers to as pictures) and solid points on metapictures.
Good collection of articles focusing on the digital transformation of music. Most concern themselves with the problematics of appropriation, sampling, plagiarism, etc.
Probably one of the most meaningful books on electronic music and new media. The contributions are diverse enough to touch pretty much every aspect of digital music. It also manages to deal with the concept of plagiarism, 'higher cribbing' and sampling in not just music but also literary and other fields.
