Samuel Beckett and Technology by Galina Kiryushina Book PDF Summary

Explores Beckett's engagement with various technologies throughout his artistic career. This collection of essays is the first comprehensive discussion of the role technology plays in shaping Beckett's trademark aesthetics. Samuel Beckett and Technology assembles an innovative and diverse range of scholarly approaches to the topic, which collectively renegotiate our understanding of his work in prose, theatre, film, radio and television. What emerges from these discussions is the centrality of technology for Beckett's creative imagination, a factor that is equally enabling as it is limiting. At the same time, the book reveals how theories of technology can yield new readings of the way Beckett responds to the conditions of technological modernity. As such, Beckett's work is examined in its relation to historical and contemporary technologies, discourses of technicity and technē, post-humanism and the digital age. Galina Kiryushina is a Doctoral Candidate and Researcher at the Centre for Irish Studies, Faculty of Arts, Charles University Prague. Einat Adar is Lecturer in English Literature at the University of South Bohemia. Mark Nixon is Associate Professor in Modern Literature at the University of Reading, where he is also the Co-Director of the Beckett International Foundation.
