{"product_id":"text-technologies-elaine-treharne-9781503600485","title":"Text Technologies: A History","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe field of text technologies is a capacious analytical framework that focuses on all textual records throughout human history, from the earliest periods of traceable communication--perhaps as early as 60,000 BCE--to the present day. At its core, it examines the material history of communication: what constitutes a text, the purposes for which it is intended, how it functions, and the social ends that it serves. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis coursebook can be used to support any pedagogical or research activities in text technologies, the history of the book, the history of information, and textually based work in the digital humanities. Through careful explanations of the field, examinations of terminology and themes, and illustrated case studies of diverse texts--from the Cyrus cylinder to the Eagles' \"Hotel California\"--Elaine Treharne and Claude Willan offer a clear yet nuanced overview of how humans convey meaning. \u003ci\u003eText Technologies\u003c\/i\u003e will enable students and teachers to generate multiple lines of inquiry into how communication--its production, form and materiality, and reception--is crucial to any interpretation of culture, history, and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elaine Treharne, Claude Willan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503600483\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503600485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 7.80w x 0.90d","brand":"Elaine Treharne","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985298358527,"sku":"9781503600485","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_69c9466d-6a44-44dd-88ec-fc9f50aa43fb.jpg?v=1683276735","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/text-technologies-elaine-treharne-9781503600485","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
