Becoming Media in An American Tragedy
Becoming Media in An American Tragedy
The first chapter develops a reading of media and form in Theodore Dreiser’s 1925 novel. I take up the medial properties of the stamping technology employed by workers in the novel’s collar factory, and supervised by its ill-fated protagonist, to unpack the self-divided process of identification encoded in the novel’s narrative deployment of the hallway form.
Keywords: media, modernism, American literature, architecture, infrastructure, naturalism, systems theory, cultural studies, materiality
