Subject: [OA-monographs] Articulating Media, and A History of Asking
Date: Mon, 22 May 2023 15:28:54 +1000
Dear friends of OHP,
We are delighted to announce two new open access titles:
Articulating Media, edited by James Gabrillo and Nathaniel Zetter (Technographies series)
To ‘articulate’ media means to understand them by locating their connections in space and time. Articulating Media
offers new approaches to the writing of technology and the technologies
of writing by twinning an investigation of language with an attention
to location. Where does media theory take place? How should media theory
understand its own occupation of the spaces of media? What
materialities might survive media’s many articulations and associations?
A History of Asking by Steven Connor
A History of Asking is the first attempt to grasp the unity and
variety of the technics and technologies of asking, in all its
modalities, as they extend across a spectrum from weak forms like
begging, pleading, praying, imploring, beseeching, entreating, suing,
supplicating and soliciting, through to the more assertively and even
aggressively self-authorising modes of asking, like proposing, offering,
inviting, requesting, appealing, applying, petitioning, claiming and
demanding.
We hope you enjoy these titles, and please consider ordering them for your University Library to help support what we do at Open Humanities Press.
