Product Information
Of all the cultural revolutions brought about by the development of printing technology during the sixteenth century, perhaps the most remarkable but least understood is the purported rise of European vernacular languages. It is generally accepted that the invention of printing constitutes an event in the history of language that has profoundly shaped modernity, and yet the exact nature of this transformation-the mechanics of the event-has remained curiously unexamined. In The Prosthetic Tongue, Katie Chenoweth explores the relationship between printing and the vernacular as it took shape in sixteenth-century France and charts the technological reinvention of French across a range of domains, from typography, orthography, and grammar to politics, pedagogy, and poetics. Under Francois I, the king known in his own time as the Father of Letters, both printing and vernacular language emerged as major cultural and political forces. Beginning in 1529, French underwent a remarkable transformation, as printers and writers began to reimagine their mother tongue as mechanically reproducible. The first accent marks appeared in French texts, the first French grammar books and dictionaries were published, phonetic spelling reforms were debated, modern Roman typefaces replaced gothic scripts, and French was codified as a legal idiom. This was, Chenoweth argues, a veritable new media moment, in which the print medium served as the underlying material apparatus and conceptual framework for a revolutionary reinvention of the vernacular. Rather than tell the story of the origin of the modern French language, however, she seeks to destabilize this very notion of origin by situating the cultural formation of French in a scene of media technology and reproducibility. No less than the paper book issuing from sixteenth-century printing presses, the modern French language is a product of the age of mechanical reproduction.

- c***e (140)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaItem as described, superbly protectively packaged and dispatched superfast ( bought at 4pm on a Monday and arrived at 12pm on the Wednesday). This seems to be quite a large seller; I'm surprised I haven't encountered them before. In any event I am sure you can have complete confidence in them as, unlike many others, they seem to have fully grasped the meaning of the phrase "customer service"!
- a***a (19)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaI am delighted to have found this wonderful book at such a reasonable price. The book was exactly as described, with only minor wear to the dust jacket and the pages in very good condition given its age. The seller communicated promptly throughout the process and the book arrived quickly and extremely well packaged. Many thanks - I am very pleased with this purchase and more than happy to recommend this seller.The Historical Source Book for Scribes by Patricia Lovett, Michelle P. Brown (#335814397889)
- 1***l (227)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaItem came packaged as it was shown. While I appreciate the fast shipping, the cardboard packaging inside package, had ridges inside that made imprints/marks into the pages of the book. I seen other sellers use bubble wrap or even plastic wrap to ensure this didn't happen, so I hope the seller can change it or find some better form of protection for shipping books. Since this is a hard-to-find book, I won't ask for a refund or anything. A good find, and a good seller nonetheless.Juvenal in English by Juvenal, Martin M. Winkler (Paperback, 2001) (#335464771746)
