Global Communication Electric: Business, News and Politics in the World of Telegraphy (Volume 15) (Global History) - Softcover
Book 15 of 36: Globalgeschichte
Synopsis
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 Electric expands 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.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Closing the final link - so lautete der Slogan, als 2009 fünf ostafrikanische Staaten per Seetelegrafenkabel mit der Arabischen Halbinsel verbunden wurden. Fast 150 Jahre zuvor hatten die englische Königin Victoria und US-Präsident James Buchanan bei der Verlegung des ersten transatlantischen Telegrafenkabels ganz ähnliche Worte gefunden. Der Sammelband umfasst 15 Aufsätze in englischer Sprache, die - auf dem neuesten Stand der Forschung - die Telegrafie als Medium und Technologie der Moderne, den Telegrafen als zentrales Instrument einer globalen Kommunikation darstellen.
