Böcker av Friedrich Kittler

Operation Valhalla collects eighteen texts by German media theorist Friedrich Kittler on the close connections between war and media technology.

This is an original book about the connections between historical moment, social structure, technology, communication systems, and what is said and thought using these systems - notably literature.

This volume is a collection of public writings and insights of the German post-structuralist, Friedrich A. Kittler. It merges the discourse of literature, war and technology into a unified theme. His research results in a vision of the future in which the distinction between mediums is erased.

This major new book provides a concise history of optical media from Renaissance linear perspective to late twentieth-century computer graphics. Kittler begins by looking at European painting since the Renaissance in order to discern the principles according to which modern optical perception was organized.
