Global Communication Electric: Business, News and Politics in the World of Telegraphy
Editat de M. Michaela Hampf, Simone Müller-Pohlen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 iun 2014
As
catalysts
of
our
present
global
condition,
telegraphs
are
emblems
of
modernity.
The
establishment
of
a
worldwide
network
of
landline
and
submarine
cable
connections
in
the
mid-nineteenth
century
fostered
the
emergence
of
new
structures
and
patterns
of
interaction
on
a
global
scale.
World
politics
and
a
global
economy
only
became
possible
with
the
creation
of
“global
communication
electric.”
This book examines the emergence of this global media system between 1860 and 1930 in four sections—"Inter|Nationalisms," "Agents|Actors," "Use|News," and "Space|Time"—that aim to broaden and challenge popular conceptions of telegraphy. In exploring the varied uses of telegraphy, real or imagined,Global Communication Electricexpands the notion of the telegraph as a globalizing medium: of connection as well as friction; of political, social, and economic entanglement as well as disentanglement; and of crossing as well as creating distance in space and time.

Recenzii
“Heralding
the
era
of
globalization,
telegraphy
as
a
medium
of
networked
communication
reimagined
structures
of
power
and
patterns
of
interaction
in
the
mid-nineteenth
century.
Hampf
and
Müller-Pohl
bring
together
thirteen
contributors
to
sift
the
implications
of
this
one-time
new
media
technology.
.
.
.
As
a
global
history,
the
book’s
major
contribution
is
offering
a
critical
reconsideration
of
standard
narratives
of
telegraphy
as
the
‘Victorian
Internet,’
a
weapon
of
empire,
and
an
abolisher
of
temporal-spatial
constraints
to
argue
instead
for
a
more
nuanced
(and
ultimately
less
Euro-American-centric)
interpretation
of
the
role
of
telegraphy
in
the
nineteenth
century.
