Summary note
"Theories of the New Media anchors contemporary discussion of the digital future within a critical tradition about the media arts, society, and culture. The essays chart a critical field in media studies, providing a historical perspective on theories of new media." "The contributors place discussion of producing technologies in dialogue with consuming technologies and argue that digital media should not be restricted within the limited confines and public discourses of either the computer, broadcast, or motion picture industries. The collection charts a range of theoretical positions to assist readers interested in new media and enable them to survive the cycles of hardware obsolescence and theoretical volatility that characterise the present rush toward digital technologies."--BOOK JACKET.
