Summary:
Markus Krajewski explores the history of globalization by examining several large-scale projects that, at the beginning of the twentieth century, shared a grand yet unachievable goal: bringing order to the world. He shows how media, technological structures, and naked human ambition paved the way for global-scale ventures that created the first “world wide web.”

Depuis le développement de l’imprimerie, la civilisation occidentale vivait dans la culture du livre comme les poissons vivent dans l’eau, c’est-à-dire sans le savoir. Elle avait à ce point imprégné nos façons de sentir et de penser que nous avions fini par la confondre avec la nature humaine. Les technologies numériques nous ont brutalement confrontés au fait qu’il existe d’autres relations possibles à l’identité, au temps, aux autres, à l’espace et aux apprentissages. Et du coup, nous ne pouvons plus penser l’homme, la culture, l’enseignement et l’éducation de la même façon.

Summary:
''Pevsner: the BBC years'' gives the first full account of Sir Nikolaus Pevsner’s engagement with the BBC at a time when both were the dominant institutions in their own fields -- Pevsner as the most persuasive figure in architecture and art history, the BBC as the country's sole broadcaster. With the arrival of the Third Programme in 1946, he quickly became a broadcasting celebrity, and one whom senior BBC figures regarded as essential and novel listening. This book looks at the sudden rise in Pevsner’s standing at the BBC and at the circumstances surrounding his being commissioned, in the mid-1950s, to give the first series of Reith Lectures on an arts subject -- the relationship between visual expression and national identity.

Summary:
This book brings together the surviving texts of the 113 talks on art and architecture that we know of, given by the art historian Sir Nikolaus Pevsner on radio and television between 1945--1977. It includes the seven texts of the 1955 Reith Lectures in their original broadcast form, as well as lectures that Pevsner gave in German (for the BBC in London and RIAS in Berlin) and on the radio in New Zealand. These talks are important as an example of the attempt by the BBC in particular to provide intellectual programming for the mass population. The talks are important for what they reveal about changing tastes in the treatment of the arts as a broadcast topic, as well as offering a case study of the development of one particular historian's approach to a subject that was gaining ground in universities as a direct result of his popularisation of it.

In Prometheus Wired, Darin Barney debunks claims that a networked society will provide the infrastructure for a political revolution and shows that the resources we need for understanding and making sound judgments about this new technology are surprisingly close at hand. By looking to thinkers who grappled with the relationship of society and technology, such as Plato, Aristotle, Marx, and Heidegger, Barney critically examines such assertions about the character of digital networks.
