ISBN10: 0822325721, ISBN13: 9780822325727, [publisher: Duke University Press Aug 2000] Softcover Neuware - 'Death, desire and distance are Jeffrey Sconce's companions in this truly spooky journey through the 'troubling afterlife of modernity.' His brilliant and beautifully written history of the uncanny powers ascribed to the electronic media is a wonderful catalogue of popular fantasies. But more profoundly it is a symptomatology of media theory too. In fact and fiction alike we are caught up in wild imaginings that seek transcendance in transmission, from the ether to the Internet. Where redemption is sought from the 'liveness' of technology, Sconce advises caution. Or, as one of the quirky spirits he unearths implores via radio, 'bring a halibut!'

ISBN10: 0822325721, ISBN13: 9780822325727, [publisher: Duke University Press, North Carolina] Softcover Paperback. In "Haunted Media" Jeffrey Sconce examines American culture's persistent association of new electronic media - from the invention of the telegraph to the introduction of television and computers - with paranormal or spiritual phenomena. By offering an historical analysis of the relation between communication technologies, discourse of modernity and metaphysical preoccupations, Sconce demonstrates how accounts of "electronic presence" have gradually changed over the decades from a fascination with the boundaries of space and time to a more generalized anxiety over the seeming sovereignty of technology. Sconce focuses on five important cultural moments in the history of telecommunications from the mid-19th century to the present: the advent of telegraphy; the arrival of wireless communication; radio's transformation into network broadcasting; the introduction of television; and contemporary debates over computers, cyberspace and virtual reality.In the process of examining the trajectory of these technological innovations, he discusses topics such as the rise of spiritualism as a utopian response to the electronic powers presented by telegraphy and how radio, in the 20th century, came to be regarded as a way of connecting to a more atomized vision of the afterlife.
