An innovative and imaginative study of machines for writing and reading in late nineteenth century America, this book argues that these inscriptive technologies were materialized theories of language: that is, embodiments of the way people perceived writing and reading. Beginning with the promotion of shorthand alphabets, the author investigates varying inscriptive practices, from a surprising and complex genealogy of the phonograph, to new readings of the history of the typewriter and of the earliest silent films. Technological developments coincided with a new awareness of oral and inscribed communication which influenced the growth of consumer culture, literary and artistic experiences of modernity, and the definition of the 'human' sciences, such as linguistics, anthropology, and psychology. As a parallel with the present, this book will resonate with readers who are engaged daily with computer networks, hypertexts, and the forms that mass media will take in the new century.

Current theories and views on the differences in the 'mind' of human societies depend very much on a dichotomy between 'advanced' and 'primitive', or between 'open' and 'closed', or between 'domesticated' and 'savage', that is to say, between one of a whole variety of 'we-they' distinctions. Professor Goody argues that such an approach prevents any serious discussion of the mechanisms leading to long-term changes in the cognitive processes of human cultures or any adequate explanation of the changes in 'traditional' societies that are taking place in the world around us. In this book he attempts to provide the framework for a more satisfactory explanation by relating certain broad differences in 'mentalities' to the changes in the means of communication, and specifically to the series of shifts involved in the development of writing. The argument is based upon theoretical considerations, as well as empirical evidence derived from recent fieldwork in West Africa and the study of a wide range of source material on the ancient societies of the Near East.
