The wireless excited early twentieth-century audiences before it even became a viable black box technology. The wireless adhered to modernist values—speed, efficiency, militarization, and progress. Language surrounding the wireless is a form of technical communication, overlooked by today’s practitioners. This book establishes a broader definition for technical communication by examining a selection of the discourse surrounding Marconi‘s wireless. The book’s main themes are the following: 1) technical communication is all discourse surrounding technology, 2) the field of technical communication (or technical writing) should incorporate analyses of discourse surrounding technologies into its epistemology, 3) the wireless is a product of the society from which it comes (early twentieth-century Western civilization), and 4) the discourse surrounding the wireless is infused with tropes of progress—speed, efficiency, evolution, and ahistoricity. | 出版日期 | Book 2012 | 关键词 | Guglielmo Marconi; Marconi‘s Wireless; Modernism; New media technology; Positive popular press accounts; | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-3977-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-3976-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-007-3977-2Series ISSN 2212-6368 Series E-ISSN 2212-6376 | issn_series | 2212-6368 | copyright | The Author(s) 2012 |
