Mechanisms is the first book in its field to devote significant attention to storage--the hard drive in particular--arguing that understanding the affordances of storage devices is essential to understanding new media. Drawing a distinction between 'forensic materiality' and 'formal materiality,' Kirschenbaum uses applied computer forensics techniques in his study of new media works. Just as the humanities discipline of textual studies examines books as physical objects and traces different variants of texts, computer forensics encourage us to perceive new media in terms of specific versions, platforms, systems, and devices. Kirschenbaum demonstrates these techniques in media-specific readings of three landmark works of new media and electronic literature, all from the formative era of personal computing: the interactive fiction game Mystery House, Michael Joyce's Afternoon: A Story, and William Gibson's electronic poem 'Agrippa'"--Provider website. 001385761 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001385761 60010 $$aGibson, William,$$d1948-$$tAgrippa. 001385761 60010 $$aJoyce, Michael,$$d1945-$$tAfternoon. 001385761 650_0 $$aMass media$$xTechnological innovations. 001385761 650_0 $$aMass media and language. 001385761 650_0 $$aDiscourse analysis$$xData processing. 001385761 650_0 $$aComputer storage devices. 001385761 650_0 $$aData recovery (Computer science) 001385761 653__ $$aDIGITAL HUMANITIES & NEW MEDIA/New Media Theory 001385761 653__ $$aSCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY/General 001385761 653__ $$aSOCIAL SCIENCES/Media Studies 001385761 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001385761 852__ $$bebk 001385761 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/7393.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001385761 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001385761 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1385761$$pGLOBAL_SET 001385761 980__ $$aBIB 001385761 980__ $$aEBOOK 001385761 982__ $$aEbook 001385761 983__ $$aOnline
