Sign Here! Handwriting in the Age of New Media features a number of
articles from different fields, reaching from cultural and media
studies to literature, film and art, and from philosophy and
information studies to law and archival studies. Questions addressed
in this book are: Will handwriting disappear in the age of new
(digital) media? What happens to important cultural and legal
concepts, such as original, copy, authenticity, reproducibility,
uniqueness, and iterability? Where is the writing hand to be located
if handwriting is performed not immediately ‘by hand’ but when it is
(re)mediated by electronic or artistic media?
