Matthew Fuller (1)

This reads like notes on fifty random topics of sleep. The author did well to cover the literature that uses the word sleep. These notes are like myoclonic jerks of an insomniac wishing to go into unconscious depth but falls short of satisfying sleep, never journeying past hypnagogia.

A discussion on the interaction of media systems, drawing mainly on materialist philosophy. Fuller makes the point that all media products are part of contexts, and illustrates how close studies of such contexts can reveal insights into the whole media ecology in question, including "new" media as well as "old" media and use practices. Notions such as the medial will to power stayed with me after reading the book. However, other parts of Fuller’s reasoning were too difficult for me to show more grasp. (Or perhaps, too well hidden in cultural-theory jargon?) show less

Extremely complex read but interesting take on study of media.
