| Zusammenfassung: | "From the mid-sixteenth to the mid-nineteenth century Russia was transformed from a moderate-sized, land-locked principality into the largest empire on earth. How did systems of information and communication shape and reflect this extraordinary change? Information and Empire brings together a range of contributions to shed some light on this complex question. Communication networks such as the postal service and the gathering and circulation of news are examined alongside the growth of a bureaucratic apparatus that informed the government about its country and its people. The inscription of space is considered from the point of view of mapping and the changing public 'graphosphere' of signs and monuments. More than a series of institutional histories, this book is concerned with the way Russia discovered itself, envisioned itself and represented itself to its people. Innovative and scholarly, this collection breaks new ground in its approach to communication and information as a field of study in Russia. More broadly, it is an accessible contribution to pre-modern information studies, taking as its basis a country whose history often serves to challenge habitual Western models of development. It is important reading not only for specialists in Russian Studies, but also for students and non-Russianists who are interested in the history of information and communications."--Publisher's website |

Communication networks such as the postal service and the gathering and circulation of news are examined alongside the growth of a bureaucratic apparatus that informed the government about its country and its people. The inscription of space is considered from the point of view of mapping and the changing public 'graphosphere' of signs and monuments. More than a series of institutional histories, this book is concerned with the way Russia discovered itself, envisioned itself and represented itself to its people. Innovative and scholarly, this collection breaks new ground in its approach to communication and information as a field of study in Russia. More broadly, it is an accessible contribution to pre-modern information studies, taking as its basis a country whose history often serves to challenge habitual Western models of development. It is important reading not only for specialists in Russian Studies, but also for students and non-Russianists who are interested in the history of information and communications."--Publisher's website Communication écrite Histoire Communication politique Histoire Presse Histoire Communication in politics Communication Manners and customs Politics and government Postal service Press PSYCHOLOGY Social Psychology Written communication Communication in politics Russia History Communication Russia History Postal service Russia History Press Russia History Written communication Russia History Russia / Politics and government / History Russia / Social life and customs / History Russia Electronic book Electronic books History Bowers, Katherine editor oth Franklin, Simon editor oth Open Book Publishers publisher Sonstige oth Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe Information and empire Cambridge : Open Book Publishers, 2017 https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1682817 Verlag kostenfrei Volltext |
