Document Summary
This course has been more or less rigidly chronological - 1830s: photography, telegraphy and the penny press" - 1870s: phonograph and telephone. Late 19th centuryl world expositions, department stores: electrification and sound/image. One way of conceiving of distinctions between aspects of this flurry of change is to, as does our textbook, make thematic rather than chronological distinctions. But even these distinctions are blurry: key terms in my 2 lecture long organization of this period. Blurring boundaries -new forms of social organization: social reorganization that results from the changes that are taking place since the 19th century, the media technologies - telegraph. Modern" newspapers - cinema: to begin. Renaissance humanisme - the enlightenment: revolutions: political and industrial. American 1775-1783: american colonies were governed by the king of england - king george. Makes sense to us but not to people at this time. Industrialization: 18th century, advancements in iron production and manipulation -= machinery .
