Beschreibung:
Jeremy Braddock teaches literature, media, and sound studies at Cornell University and is author of Collecting as Modernist Practice, which was awarded the Modernist Studies Association Book Prize.
"A sophisticated, wide-ranging, and original analysis of this understudied but influential media collective. Jeremy Braddock pulls off an impressive intellectual achievement by recalibrating multiple discourses in media theory and media history via his object of study. The result is a striking and innovative book with resonance across several academic fields. Trust me--I was right about the comet!"--Jacob Smith, author of Lightning Birds: An Aeroecology of the Airwaves
