Copyright is under siege. From file sharing to vast library scanning projects, new technologies, actors, and attitudes toward intellectual property threaten the value of creative work. However, while digital media and the Internet have made making and sharing perfect copies of original works almost effortless, debates about protecting authors' rights are nothing new. In this sweeping account of the evolution of copyright law since the mid-nineteenth century, Monika Dommann explores how radical media changes—from sheet music and phonographs to photocopiers and networked information systems—have challenged and transformed legal and cultural concept of authors' rights.Dommann provides a critical transatlantic perspective on developments in copyright law and mechanical reproduction of words and music, charting how artists, media companies, and lawmakers in the United States and western Europe approached the complex tangle of technological innovation, intellectual property, and consumer interests. From the seemingly innocuous music box, invented around 1800, to BASF's magnetic tapes and Xerox machines, she demonstrates how copyright has been continuously destabilized by emerging technologies, requiring new legal norms to regulate commercial and private copying practices. Without minimizing digital media's radical disruption to notions of intellectual property, Dommann uncovers the deep historical roots of the conflict between copyright and media—a story that can inform present-day debates over the legal protection of authorship.

Media is a kind of gatekeeper, connecting disparate entities and shielding them from one another at the same time. When we speak of media, we often refer to those entities themselves--to persons, organizations, artifacts, signals, and inscriptions--referencing directors, artists, newspapers, films, iPhones, paper, ink, notes, beats, color, and soundwaves. But as the middle or between, the essence of media itself seems to be distributed across the mix of entities involved, and its location and agency are hard to pin down. This new anthology takes stock of our empirical and historical understanding of the two-sided nature of media and tracks the recent turn in media studies to examining practice itself. A unique discussion of the intersection of media theory and practice theory, Connect and Divide explores how distributions of knowledge, labor, and power may be hidden in what remains untraceable about media, shedding vital light on the social implications of media theory today.

Questions of privacy, borders, and nationhood are increasingly shaping the way we think about all things digital. Data Centers brings together essays and photographic documentation that analyze recent and ongoing developments. Taking Switzerland as an example, the book takes a look at the country's data centers, law firms, corporations, and government institutions that are involved in the creation, maintenance, and regulation of digital infrastructures. Beneath the official storyline— Switzerland’s moderate climate, political stability, and relatively clean energy mix—the book uncovers a much more varied and sometimes contradictory set of narratives.

Was ist Wirtschaft? Wo müsste man sie suchen? Und woran könnte man sie erkennen? Aus historischer Perspektive ist die Annahme einer überzeitlich erkennbaren ökonomischen Sphäre fraglich oder zumindest untersuchungswürdig. Weil nicht nur das Wirtschaftsleben, sondern auch die Konzeption von Wirtschaft einem Wandel untersteht, sind empirisch kompetente Studien vonnöten, die Querbezüge herzustellen vermögen zwischen den Praktiken des Wirtschaftens und der Wirtschaftswissenschaft mit jenen der Politik, der Moral und der Religion. Anhand von elf Begriffen von B wie Beute bis S wie Steuern erkunden die Autor/innen dieses Bandes historisch, inwiefern sich das Verständnis von Ökonomie verändert, wenn der Zugang zur Wirtschaft nicht über die Konzepte der neoklassisch ausgerichteten ökonomischen Theorie, sondern durch die Hintertür der Geschichtswissenschaft erfolgt. Mit der Suche nach der Ökonomie soll ein historisches Gegenmittel zu den vermeintlichen Sachzwängen der aktuellen Wirtschaft erprobt werden.
