MARK C. TAYLOR, ESA SAARINEN
Imagologies: Media Philosophy

Routledge (London /New York) 1994, English text c. 300 pp.

Taylor describes their publication as a non-book in a certain sense: ' It should not be limited by the linear logic of the past, which urges the reader to proceed from the first page to the second, and then continue in the order marked by numbering, from left to right, down and up, following page-turning conventions all the way to the end. Like a hypertext, the reader should be free to chert alternative courses through the wordmass we fabricate. The work must also be riddled with gaps, spaces and openings that invite the reader to write. White space becomes the site of transaction in which the event of understandig occurs. In different terms, the book of media philosophy must become a notebook or a workbook. `
