A diverse, enriching volume of media analysis from a pioneering thinker in the field A Expanding on Siegfried Zielinskiâ?Ts groundbreaking inquiry into â?odeep timeâ?? of the media, the essays in Variations on Media Thinking further the eminent media theoristâ?Ts unique method of expanded hermeneutics, which means for him interpreting technical artifacts as essential parts of our cultural lives. Covering such topics as the televisualized â?oHolocaust,â?? the ubiquity of media today, the Internet, the genealogy of sound art, and historyâ?Ts first hacker movement, these essays further diversify Zielinskiâ?Ts insight into the hidden layers of media development, which he first articulated in his pioneering work Deep Time of the Media. Including many previously untranslated and scarce essays, these â?owritten time machinesâ?? open new lines of investigation for cultural scholars.

Richly illustrated and full of provocation, brilliant insight, and fascinating research, this volume is perfect for students of media archaeology, philosophy, and technology, as well as any adventurous, rigorous thinkers engaged with culture and media.
