Passage des Digitalen

The book "Passage of the Digital" by Bernhard Siegert offers a comprehensive analysis of sign practices in modern sciences between 1500 and 1900. It examines how digital media and technologies influence the way knowledge is produced and conveyed. By combining media studies and social sciences, an interdisciplinary approach is pursued that considers both historical and contemporary perspectives. The detailed investigation of sign practices allows readers to trace the development of communication forms and their impact on the sciences. With 622 pages, the work provides a solid foundation for anyone interested in the intersections between science, media, and society.
