Description

How did we arrive at our contemporary consumer media economy? Why are we now fixated on screens, imbibing information that constantly expires, and longing for more direct or authentic kinds of experience? The Mediated Mind answers these questions by revisiting a previous media revolution, the nineteenth-century explosion of mass print. Like our own smartphone screens, printed paper and imprinted objects touched the most intimate regions of nineteenth-century life. The rise of this printed ephemera, and its new information economy, generated modern consumer experiences such as voracious collecting and curating, fantasies of disembodied mental travel, and information addiction. Susan Zieger demonstrates how the nineteenth century established affective, psychological, social, and cultural habits of media consumption that we still experience, even as pixels supersede paper. Revealing the history of our own moment, The Mediated Mind challenges the commonplace assumption that our own new media lack a past, or that our own experiences are unprecedented. Review An astoundingly rich and wonderfully diverse account of the experience of mass media in Britain at the end of the nineteenth century. The Mediated Mind provocatively and sensitively expands the very notion of mass media beyond the audio-visual parameters in which it is conventionally considered and explores the varied ways in which print and printed ephemera shapes nineteenth-century British culture. Author: John Lurz, Tufts University Zieger's notion of "the mediated mind" is not the flattened, homogenized mentality often implied by discussions of mass communications; she documents and explores these changes with far more detail and finesse than an informal commentary can convey.
