Author: Wolfgang ErnstISBN: 9780816677672Publisher: University of Minnesota PressYear first published: 28 Feb 2013Pages: 256 Format: Paperback / softbackThe archival-oriented media theories of Wolfgang Ernst are particularly relevant. Digital Memory and the Archive, the first English-languagecollection of the German media theorist's work, brings together essays that present Ernst's controversial materialist approach to media theory and history. His insights are central to the emerging field of media archaeology, which uncovers the role of specific technologies and mechanisms, rather than content, in shaping contemporary culture and society.
