Relays

Literature as an Epoch of the Postal System (Writing Science)

Edición de la obra Relays

This book examines how one aspect of the social and technological situation of literature - namely, the postal system - determined how literature was produced and what was produced within literature. Language itself has the structure of a relay, where what is transmitted depends on a prior withholding. The social arrangements and technologies for achieving this transmission thus have had a particularly powerful impact on the imagination of literature.
