THE LONG HISTORY OF NEW MEDIA GEBUNDEN

This volume examines the role of history in the study of new media and of newness itself 
discussing how the 'new' in new media must be understood to be historically constructed.
Furthermore  the new is constructed with an eye on the future  or more correctly  an eye on
what we think the future will be. Chapters by eminent scholars address the connection between
historical consideration and new media. Some assess the historical descriptions of the
development of new media  others hinge on the issue of newness as it relates to existing
practices in media history. Remaining essays address the shifting patterns of storage at work
in media inscription  as they relate to the practice of history  and to the past and
contemporary cultural formations. Together they offer a ground-breaking assessment of the long
history of new media  clearly recognizing that the new media of today will be the traditional
media of tomorrow  and that an emphasis on the history of the future sheds light on what this
newness can be said to represent.
