The Phonograph in Africa: international phonocentrism from Stanley to Sarnoff. by William Pietz

Non-deconstructive post-structuralist historiography. Recording techonology supports a micro-regime of phonocentrism without participating in phonocentrism since it does not represent what it records. Cf. Deleuze and Guattari, Captialism and Schizophrenia. Pursues mediations/connections between the structures of history through schizo-analysis. Presents a history of consciousness and its transformation; does not present a total historical or political analysis, which would require a post-structural institutional history which according to Pietz has not yet been developed.
