MI - New York University The Net Effect Romanticism Capitalism and the Internet
Book SynopsisLooks at the internet, not as harbinger of the future or the next big thing, but as an expression of the times. This book demonstrates that our ideas about what connected computers are for have been in constant flux since their invention.Trade ReviewThe Net Effect makes a great contribution to our knowledge on the question of labor in Internet technology. * International Journal of Communciation *The Net Effect is an excellent resource for anyone reseraching the influence of society on technology. * CHOICE *& We are romantics even, and perhaps especially, in the face of high technologies, writes Thomas Streeter. In his profound and illuminating analysis of the interactions between technology and desire, Streeter shows how conflicting visions of the internet have not so much reflected the pre-given triumph of a new technology as shaped the possibilities and limitations of who we are and who we might become. -- Peter Stallybrass,University of PennsylvaniaOne part palm reader and one part politico, Streeter makes total sense of the Internet: its 60s roots, its 90s ethos, and why it works and feels the way it does today. Whether or not you remember firsthand what a long strange trip its been, The Net Effect will persuade you with its lucid rendering of the shared experiences, strange bedfellows, and stealth mythologies that have shaped what it means to be online. -- Lisa Gitelman,NYU, and author of Always, Already New: Media, History, and the Data of CultureTable of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction 1 "Self-Motivating Exhilaration": On the Cultural Sources of Computer Communication2 Romanticism and the Machine: The Formation of the Computer Counterculture3 Missing the Net: The 1980s, Microcomputers, and the Rise of Neoliberalism4 Networks and the Social Imagination5 The Moment of Wired 6 Open Source, the Expressive Programmer, and the Problem of PropertyConclusion: Capitalism, Passions, Democracy Notes IndexAbout the Author

University of Minnesota Press In The Break
Book SynopsisTrade Review"An ambitious work, In the Break shows that the classic opposition between singularity and totality is invalidated by black thought, history, life, and culture. In the Break is a truly original and inventive work that needs to be read and heard."—Avery Gordon, author of Ghostly Matters"Moten makes great sense of the author’s complementary attractions of ‘same’ and ‘change.’"—Rough Pages"Fred Moten’s dynamic and ambitious In the Break explores the tension between jazz’s social and aesthetic dimensions as the animating force behind the music, contextualizing the avant-garde work of the 1960s within a narrative arc that encompasses the entire history of the African diaspora."—American Quarterly"The result of Moten’s work is always more than a performance, more than the aggregate of gestures that falls within the valorized space of performative writing: In the Break marks an event according to the terms with which Moten describes it—encounter, ensemble, improvisation, and the invocation of the knowledge of freedom."—MLN"It’s a work that rewards careful study and repeated consultation, and invites extension, development, debate, and sustained intellectual improvisation on its protean themes."—Cross Cultural Poetics"In the Break mounts a poststructuralist assault upon the sovereign subject, disciplined sexuality, and gender training."—American Literary History
