Dream Animals | 196 Acknowledgments | 223 Index | 225ReviewsTechno-Magism is an incisive intervention in the growing conversation about the relevance of Romanticism to media studies and media theory. Wang's book is finely attuned to those latter disciplines' go-to theoretical touchstones (from Hegel to Adorno and Benjamin to Kittler and Guillory), as well as to the usual histories it paints. But it is equally alive to what Romanticism-as historical period, a constellation of literary texts or modes, and a still-developing set of theoretical and philosophical commitments-has surreptitiously brought and might yet bring to the broader discussion of what media is and does. -- Andrew Warren, Harvard University Author InformationOrrin N.
