The breath of the world. About Wagner's media technique

Friedrich Kittler

This translation of a study by the German philosopher and media theorist Friedrich Kittler deals with the interplay between opera and other media. The author turns to physiological media, and specifically Wagner's operas as sensory fields allow him to see opera performance as a media system in which modern and archaic elements, aesthetics and technology collide.

Keywords: opera, film, media, film aesthetics, Richard Wagner
