At its core, it examines the material history of communication: what constitutes a text, the purposes for which it is intended, how it functions, and the social ends that it serves. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis coursebook can be used to support any pedagogical or research activities in text technologies, the history of the book, the history of information, and textually based work in the digital humanities. Through careful explanations of the field, examinations of terminology and themes, and illustrated case studies of diverse texts-from the Cyrus cylinder to the Eagles' \"Hotel California\"-Elaine Treharne and Claude Willan offer a clear yet nuanced overview of how humans convey meaning. \u003ci\u003eText Technologies\u003c\/i\u003e will enable students and teachers to generate multiple lines of inquiry into how communication-its production, form and materiality, and reception-is crucial to any interpretation of culture, history, and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElaine Treharne\u003c\/b\u003e is Roberta Bowman Denning Professor of Humanities and Professor of English (and, by courtesy, of German Studies) at Stanford University, as well as Director of Stanford's Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis. \u003cb\u003eClaude Willan\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of the Digital Research Commons at the University of Houston Libraries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 222\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.4 x 7.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 26, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47327200805113,"sku":"9781503600485","price":179.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/MWN6OUNmb0VhWG9aN3hvOS9kT1hJQT09.webp?v=1769577766","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/text-technologies-a-history-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
