Language is now and has always been produced by
a variety of machines. But within this proposition
lie the histories not only of language, but of the
idea of machinery, and of the body as a machine.
In Language Machines, twelve scholars of
literature, film, performance, and media explore a
range of technologies that have shaped literary and
cultural production. Organized around four poles --
pens, presses, screens, and voices -- the essays
pursue, from manuscript to computer and back again,
two central claims. First: material forms regulate
and structure culture as well as those who are the
agents or subjects of culture. And second: new
technologies redefine and resituate, rather than
replace, earlier technologies.
These provocative and rich essays argue
persuasively that language is no disembodied
essence ('In the beginning was the Word') but
instead deeply, resolutely material.
