- This monograph offers a new framework for analysing modernist technology and culture. The product of a decade of research, Reading Machines offers a revisionist account of technology’s role in the aesthetics, spaces and politics of transatlantic avant-gardes. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources from archives at UCLA, Yale University, UPenn, and Southern Illinois University (Carbondale), some previously undiscovered, White identifies a variety of new, avant-garde formations in the modernist transatlantic period. The book offers an ambitious synthesis of these formations alongside the theoretical thinking of Gilbert Simondon, the influential but neglected philosopher of science and technology.
