Through the conceptual vocabulary of the circuit, it offers a provocative model for thinking about governance and media.\u003cp\u003eThe authors, writing as a collective, provide a model for collective research and a genealogical framework that interrogates the rise of digital society through the lens of Foucault's ideas of governance, circulation, and power. The book includes five in-depth case studies investigating the transition from analog media to electronic and digital forms: military telegraphy and human-machine incorporation, the establishment of national electronic biopolitical governance in World War I, media as the means of extending spatial and temporal policing, automobility as the mechanism uniting mobility and media, and visual augmentation from Middle Ages spectacles to digital heads-up displays. \u003ci\u003eThe Prison House of the Circuit\u003c\/i\u003e ultimately demonstrates how contemporary media came to create frictionless circulation to maximize control, efficacy, and state power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10683000\"\u003eJeremy Packer\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15396871\"\u003ePaula Nuñez de Villavicencio\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14546031\"\u003eAlexander Monea\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.43h x 5.51w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517914172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1517914175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC052000\"\u003eMedia Studies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SCI\"\u003eScience\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SCI075000\"\u003ePhilosophy \u0026amp; Social Aspects\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJeremy Packer is professor in the Institute for Communication, Culture, Information, and Technology at the University of Toronto.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaula Nuñez de Villavicencio is a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlexander Monea is assistant professor of English and cultural studies at George Mason University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKathleen Oswald is adjunct faculty in the Department of Communication at Villanova University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKate Maddalena is assistant professor in the Institute for Communication, Culture, Information, and Technology at the University of Toronto.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoshua Reeves is associate professor in the School of Communication at Oregon State University.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44708871274733,"sku":"9781517914172","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_eff851b7-3348-472a-b149-8fa4fdab0768.jpg?v=1703999475","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-prison-house-of-the-circuit-politics-of-control-from-analog-to-digital-9781517914172","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
