Make It the Same

Poetry in the Age of Global Media

by Jacob Edmond

Columbia University Press

Nonfiction (Adult) , Poetry

Pub Date 30 Jul 2019

I am reviewing a copy of Make it the Same through Columbia University Press and Netgalley:

In this book we are reminded that repetition has played a role in culture. We are reminded too that having several versions of the same piece is by no means a new concept but with new media and globalization new awareness comes to these iterations.

Make It the Same not only uncovers fundamental changes in both the production and distribution of literature, but it also argues the fact that these changes make it necessary for us to learn to study world literature in a way.

We learn how things like the tape recorder allowed for recorded lectures, and recorded ideas, and transcriptions eased the way into other forms of media, such as the internet, and other forms of global media, which allowed us greater access to world literature.

I give Make it the Same Five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
