Achieve Discourse Networks, 1800/1900 Compiled By Friedrich A. Kittler EPub

is a highly original book about the connections between historical moment, social structure, technology, communication systems, and what is said and thought using these systems notably literature.
The author focuses on the differences between 'discourse networks' inand in, in the process developing a new analysis of the shift from romanticism to modernism.
The work might be classified as a German equivalent to the New Historicism that is currently of great interest among American literary scholars, both in the intellectual influences to which Kittler responds and in his concern to ground literature in the most concrete details of historical reality.
The artful structure of the book begins with Goethe's Faust and ends with Valery's Faust, In thesection, the author discusses how language was learned, the emergence of the modern university, the associated beginning of the interpretation of contemporary literature, and the canonization of literature.
Among the writers and works Kittler analyzes in addition to Goethe's Faust are Schlegel, Hegel, E, T. A. Hoffman's 'The Golden Pot', and Goethe's Tasso, Because hard stuff to read likes to make think that you feel better about yourself, That you are better, and that the world will be a better place because of the fact you read and understood this book, Because it's the most impenetrably brilliant and impossibly absurd piece I've read, It talks about discourse and, at least for me, quite literally reproduced its own discourse because for months I couldn't shut up about it the book.
I can't pretend I entirely understand, although I daily pretend to partially do so, It also gives such a great "reading" of the "recording angel" logo that it will get tattooed on my arm, or reinscripted, as it were.

They follow the logic of escalation that leaves a written history behind it, Among Kittler's theses was his tendency to argue, with a mixture of polemicism, apocalypticism, erudition, and humor, that technological conditions were closely bound up with epistemology and ontology itself.
This claim and his style of argumention is aptly summed up in his dictum "Nur was schaltbar ist, ist überhaupt"a phrase that could be translated as "Only that which is switchable, exists" or freely, "Only that which can be switched, can be.
