Beschreibung:
Jeffrey Sconce is Associate Professor in the Department of Radio, Television, and Film at Northwestern University.
"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!' "--John Hartley, Queensland University of Technology
