Book synopsis

"Medium, Messenger, Transmission" uses the figure of the messenger as a key metaphor for the function of all transmission media. Kramer explains this argument by examining a diverse range of transmission events, including the circulation of money, translation of languages, angelic visitations, spread of infectious diseases, processes of transference, and counter-transference that occur during psychoanalysis, the act of bearing witness, and even the development of cartography. This rich study thus provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of media philosophy while offering a new perspective on the concept and function of transmission media as active mediators in all systems of exchange.
